 Title: The Road to Little Dribbling: Adventures of an American in Britain, Author: Bill Bryson The Road to Little Dribbling: Adventures of an American in Britain. Penguin Random House, 2015. Travel/memoir.

Get your map of Great Britain ready and go on the road with humorist and travel writer Bill Bryson! Bryson is THE best at describing daily life, minute details about people and places, and everything he sees around him. When he travels through both large and small cities and towns, he gives his opinions, tells a bit of history, and always manages to make you smile if not laugh out loud. Sometimes updating his first trip to England in his twenties, he gives the perspective of someone who loved the island enough to marry a native and move there, but is still an American at heart. He tells where he likes to eat and stay and places to avoid. Bryson can be poignant, witty, grumpy, or entertaining. He is never dull!
