Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Deeply funny new memoir from Bryson; his most personal yet as he journey's into his own childhood in America's Mid-West. He explores the ordinary kid he once was, and the curious world of 1950s America. Bryson's previous book "A Short History Of Nearly Everything" has sold over 2 million copies and won the Aventis Prize.

Publisher's description:

Some say that the first hint that Bill Bryson was not of Planet Earth came when his mother sent him to school in lime-green Capri pants. In this funny memoir, he travels back in time to explore the ordinary kid he once was, and the curious world of 1950s America. This is a book about growing up in a specific time and place.
