Description

Bill Bryson's African Diary is a humorous and insightful account of his travels to Kenya, a continent of stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, but also of serious problems such as poverty and disease. Bryson's trademark wit and wry observation shine through in this diary, which offers a unique perspective on a continent new to him. As Bryson navigates the challenges of travel in Kenya, he also casts a curious eye on the local culture and the problems that face the country. The result is a short but engaging read that is full of laugh-out-loud moments and thought-provoking observations. All the author's royalties from this book, as well as all profits, will go to CARE International, a charity dedicated to working with local communities to eradicate poverty around the world.
