Review:
A gem
We all know that you just can’t go wrong with Bill Bryson. I loved
Notes From A Small Island all those years ago and The Road To Little
Dribbling is just as good. I has all those Bryson hallmarks: he’s
very funny, he’s humane, he notices and values all those
intangibles which are so often lost through greed, ignorance or
neglect and, above all, he has a delightful willingness to be pleased
with what he finds. When he isn’t pleased, he says so – often
very funnily – but Bryson always looks to find pleasure and
enjoyment in things, people and places and can bring that pleasure
vividly to life for us.
This scarcely needs
another recommendation from me, but it has one anyway. It’s a gem
of a book.
