![]() The book wasn’t really Bryson’s idea, he tells us in the introduction: His publisher pointed out that it had been twenty years since the publication of Notes from a Small Island, Bryson’s travel book about England. Domestic box-office numbers were about where you’d expect a moderately successful middle-aged-hiking-buddy comedy to be these days-$28,425,479, as of this writing.Ī month after A Walk in the Woods was released in the US, Bryson’s country of origin, The Road to Little Dribbling was released in the UK, where his wife and daughters claim citizenship and where he had recently taken the test to join them in legal Englishness. Robert Redford played Bryson, who in real life looks like your bearded, bespectacled, kindly uncle. The film sported an all-star, long-toothed cast, including Nick Nolte and Emma Thompson. After a long tour in development hell, the movie based on his 1998 book, A Walk in the Woods-his chronicle of a months-long trek, with an old friend, along the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail-finally found its way into American theaters in September. ![]() ![]() ![]() Superficially, 2015 has been a banner year for Bill Bryson. ![]()
