Bill Bryson has one of the liveliest, most inquisitive minds on the planet, and he is a master at turning the seemingly isolated or mundane fact into an occasion for the most diverting exposi­tion imaginable.  His wit and sheer prose fluency make At Home one of the most entertaining books ever written about private life.

Now, in this handsome new coffee table edition, Bryson's sparkling prose is enhanced by more than three hundred carefully curated full-colour images from the past and the present.  Selected from a staggering array of sources to bring Bill's journey to vivid life, these pictures make reading At Home an immersive experience.  Once finished it's readers will see their home (and daily life) in a new and revelatory light.
