Modern Bryson Homage
Dear Bill Bryson : Footnotes from a Small Island
An irreverent homage to the '95 travel classic. 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.

About the book
Staying at the same hotels, ordering the same food, and even spending the same amount of time in the bath, Aitken's homage 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 (possibly even its author) intended.' Manchester Review
