Combined in one volume are Bryson's "Down Under", an account of his memorable walk across Australia, and "A Walk in the Woods", that tells of his lengthy stroll along the longest continuous footpath in the world - The Appalachian Trail, with his old friend Stephen Katz. The Trail stretches along the East Coast of the United States, from Georgia to Maine, through some of the most arresting and celebrated landscapes in America - the Smoky Mountains, Shenandoah National Park, the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts and the Great North Woods of Maine.

What can one say about Bill Bryson,
By Nancy A. Kelly "Book worm" (Colorado Springs, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Walk About (Hardcover)
Actually, Bill Bryson has a fault; he doesn't write enough. Reading his works lightens ones life. He manages to critique life's little foibles (and some larger ones, too) and in so doing, brings tears of laughter and gut-wrenching belly laughs all the while educating us in geography. He is a gem of the first quality.

2 Soujourns that you just don't want to end!,

This review is from: Walk About (Hardcover)
These are narratives for nature lovers and stay-at-home readers alike. They are about all about friendship.
Definitely happy trails! One is Appalacia, one is the Land Down Under, but they are well-paired together!
