“Here is a man who suffers so his readers can laugh.” — Daily Telegraph
Bill Bryson travels to Kenya in support of CARE International. All royalties and profits go to CARE International.
Bryson
visits Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, the charity
dedicated to eradicating poverty. Kenya is a land of contrasts, with
famous game reserves and a vibrant culture. It also provides plenty to
worry a traveller like Bill Bryson, fixated as he is on the dangers
posed by snakes, insects and large predators. It is also a country with
many serious problems: refugees, AIDS, drought, and grinding poverty.
The resultant diary, though short in length, contains the trademark
Bryson stamp of wry observation and curious insight.
