The Road to Little Dribbling: More Notes From a Small Island Audiobook (Free)

Twenty years ago, Expenses Bryson continued a vacation around Britain to celebrate the green and kindly isle that had become his adopted nation. The hilarious reserve that resulted, Notes from a Small Island, was taken up to the nation’s heart and became the best-selling travel reserve ever, and was also voted in a BBC poll the publication that best represents Britain. Today, to tag the twentieth anniversary of that modern traditional, Bryson makes a brand-new journey around Britain to find out what has transformed.

Pursuing (but about THE STREET to Little Dribbling: More Notes From a little Isle not too closely) a route he dubs the Bryson Line, from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath, by way of places that lots of people never get to at all, Bryson sets out to rediscover the wondrously beautiful, magnificently eccentric, endearingly exclusive nation that he idea he knew but doesn’t altogether recognize any more. Yet, despite Britain’s occasional failings and pretty much eternal bewilderments, Expenses Bryson is still pleased to contact our rainy isle home. And not just due to the cream teas, a noble history, and a supplementary day off at Xmas.

Once again, along with his matchless homing instinct for the funniest and quirkiest, his unerring eyes for the idiotic, the endearing, the ridiculous and the scandalous, Bryson provides us an acute and perceptive insight into all that is best and worst about Britain today.
