Publisher’s Summary

Every time Bill Bryson walks out the door memorable travel literature threatens to break out. His previous excursion up, down, and over the Appalachian Trail resulted in the sublime best seller

A Walk in the Woods. Now he has traveled around the world and all the way “Down Under” to Australia, the only island that is also a continent and the only continent that is also a country. Australia exists on a vast scale, a shockingly under-discovered country with the friendliest inhabitants, the hottest, driest weather, the most peculiar and lethal wildlife to be found on this planet, and more things that can kill you in extremely malicious ways than anywhere else: sharks, crocodiles, the ten most deadly poisonous snakes on the planet, fluffy yet toxic caterpillars, seashells that actually attack you, and the unbelievable box jellyfish.

In a Sunburned Country is a delectably funny, fact-filled and adventurous performance by a writer who combines humor, wonder, and unflagging curiosity. Wherever Bryson goes he finds Australians who are cheerful, extroverted, and unfailingly obliging. They are the beaming products of a land with clean, safe cities, cold beer, and constant sunshine. Australia is an immense and fortunate land, and it has found in Bryson its perfect guide.

    My fave is A Walk in the Woods

    Witty and Informative as always

    I have read several of Bill Bryson’s books. They are always witty, charming and full of detail and information the average traveler may not notice. Mr. Bryson does his research and then takes us along on the journey and we get the benefit of his knowledge and insight. This version was narrated by Mr. Bryson, which is why I chose it. I have his narration of ‘A Walk into the Woods’, a book I have read several times myself. Mr. Bryson’s voice is warm and inviting. You get the feeling you are sitting at the pub, listening to a charming friend recount his tales of travel over a nice glass of beer.
