About this product

Product Information

Bill Bryson applies his irrepressible curiosity, irresistible wit and masterful storytelling to deliver one of the most entertaining and illuminating books ever written about the history of the way we live. Bill Bryson was struck one day by the thought that we devote a lot more time to studying battles and wars than to what history really consists of- centuries of people quietly going about their daily business eating, sleeping and merely endeavouring to get more comfortable. And that most of the key discoveries for humankind can be found in the very fabric of the houses in which we live.So he embarked on a journey around his own house, an old rectory in Norfolk, wandering from room to room to write a history of the world without leaving home . Along the way he did a prodigious amount of research on the history of anything and everything, from architecture to electricity, from crinolines to toilets. And he discovered that there is a huge amount of history, interest and excitement and even a little danger lurking in the corners of every home.

    Arrived well packed and just as described - but without CD which should have been inside the outer cover. It was obviously an oversight by seller. I contacted seller who immediately gave me full refund - within 2 minutes of my email! - and told me to keep the book. This is exceptional service and went above and beyond what is expected. Thank You so much 👍

    A novel theme

    Funny how one idea leads to another. The theme of using each room in an old Vicarage as a starting point will lead you to new areas of knowledge. Well worth joining Bill Bryson on a journey of discovery

  • Best buy

    I love this book and the way it is compiled, researched and always accompanied by Mr Brysons dry humour. It goes into unknown areas of historical knowledge which I readily confess I was not privy to, all of which will incidentally help me greatly in my voluntary role with a well known British charity. This book should be on the national curriculum, setting aside such fripperies as Trainspotting.
