Travel book club
meets Tuesday
Kona Stories hosts a travel book club discussing “The Road to Little Dribbling: Adventures of an American in Britain” by Bill Bryson on Tuesday.
The group meets at 6:30 p.m. at the store. Book groups are free if books are purchased at Kona Stories, or a $5 donation is requested.
In 1995, Iowa native Bryson took a motoring trip around Britain to explore that green and pleasant land. The uproarious book that resulted, “Notes from a Small Island,” is one of the most acute portrayals of the United Kingdom ever written. Two decades later, Bryson, now a British citizen, set out again to rediscover his adopted country. In “The Road to Little Dribbling,” he follows a straight line through the island from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath and shows us every pub, stone village, and human foible along the way.
