Dear Bill Bryson : Footnotes from a Small Island
(Author) Ben AitkenA new edition of an irreverent homage to the '95 travel classic, from the author of The Gran Tour. In 2013, travel writer Ben Aitken decided to follow in the footsteps of his hero - literally - and started a journey around the UK, tracing the trip taken by Bill Bryson in his classic tribute to the British Isles, Notes from a Small Island. Staying at the same hotels, ordering the same food, and even spending the same amount of time in the bath, Aitken's homage - updated and with a new preface for 2022 - is filled with wit, insight and humour.
