Publisher's Note
Before returning to America after spending twenty years in Britain, the author decided to tour his second home and presents a look at England's quirks and its endearing qualities.

Industry Reviews
"Before returning to live in the US, the incomparable Bill Bryson...made a valedictory tour of the UK by rail...It has to be admitted that the observations are not always the most original...But what makes it work is not so much what he says as how: Bryson's dry, tongue-in-cheek humour and deadpan asides can make even some pretty tired material laugh-out-loud funny."
Schwartz

"After two decades as a resident of England, Bryson bids a very fond farewell to that sceptered isle....The spelling is American, the writing is English..., and the wit is genuine."
Pavey

"Although Mr. Bryson glosses over many of Britain's problems, he is not a complete Polyanna....[He] writes a snappy, novelistic prose that's seasoned with little-old-lady Britishisms....Mr. Bryson enlivens his account with amusing descriptions of places and people....With this volume, he has succeeded in sending his beloved Britain a charming, if sometimes facile, valentine."
New York Times - Michiko Kakutani (08/18/1996)
