Bill Bryson: Notes From a Small Island

Bill Bryson Notes From a Small Island This is an adaption for TV of Bryson's book NOTES FROM A SMALL ISLAND. It appeared as a six-part 30-minute documentary broadcast on ITV from 10 January to 14 February 1999. "Before his return to the United States after a 20-year residence in England, journalist Bryson embarked on a farewell tour of his adopted homeland. His trenchant, witty and detailed observations of life in a variety of towns and villages will delight Anglophiles. Traveling only on public transportation and hiking whenever possible, Bryson wandered along the coast through Bournemouth and neighboring villages that reinforced his image of Britons as a people who rarely complain and are delighted by such small pleasures as a good tea. In Liverpool, the author's favorite English city, he visited the Merseyside Maritime Museum to experience its past as a great port. Interweaving descriptions of landscapes and everyday encounters with shopkeepers, pub customers and fellow travellers, Bryson shares what he loves best about the idiosyncrasies of everyday English life in this immensely entertaining travel memoir."
