A hilariously readable account of Bill Bryson's travels around the UK. Although now reasonably out of date, the quaint Britishisms are still incredibly recognisable. A great read for anyone wanting to understand rural Britain a little better, or considering a trip into the countryside to see a more traditional way of life.
Bryson writes critically of everyone he meets, whilst constantly professing his love of Britain, Britons and British culture. It's paradoxical but lovely.
