In 2013, travel writer Ben Aitken decided to follow in the footsteps of his hero - literally - and started a journey around the UK, tracing the trip taken by Bill Bryson in his classic tribute to the British Isles, Notes from a Small Island. Staying at the same hotels, ordering the same food, and even spending the same amount of time in the bath, Aitken' s homage - updated and with a new preface for 2022 - is filled with wit, insight and humour.
' ' It would be wrong to view this book as just a highly accomplished homage to a personal hero. Aitken' s politics, as much as his humour, are firmly in the spotlight, and Dear Bill Bryson achieves more than its title intended. ' ' - Manchester Review ' ' - ' ' - ' ' - ' ' - ' ' -
Ben Aitken was born under Thatcher, grew to 6ft then stopped, and is an Aquarius. He is the author of four books: Dear Bill Bryson, A Chip Shop in Poznan, The Gran Tour (' Both moving and hilarious' , Spectator) and The Marmalade Diaries.
