Experience Bill Bryson’s debut travel memoir, which began with the unforgettable declaration, ‘I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to.’ This profoundly humorous and intimate account revisits the author’s childhood in the unique landscape of Middle America, a period where nearly everything was deemed beneficial, from DDT and cigarettes to nuclear fallout. More than just the story of one boy’s development, Bryson transforms it into a universal narrative, resonating with anyone who has ever experienced youth.

About the Author

Bill Bryson is much loved for his bestselling travel books, from The Lost Continent to Down Under, but Notes from a Small Island has earned a particularly special place in the nation’s heart (a national poll for World Book Day in 2003 voted it the book that best represents Britain). His acclaimed A Short History of Nearly Everything won the Aventis Prize for Science Books and the Descartes Science Communication Prize. He has now returned to live in the UK with his wife and family.
