Returning to the U.S. after 20 years in England, Iowa native
Bryson decided to reconnect with his mother country by
hiking the length of the 2100-mile Appalachian Trail. Awed by merely the camping section of his local sporting goods store, he nevertheless plunges into the wilderness and emerges with a consistently comical account of a neophyte woodsman learning hard lessons about self-reliance. Bryson (
The Lost Continent) carries himself in an irresistibly bewildered manner, accepting each new calamity with wonder and hilarity.
