Bill Bryson was born in Iowa, 1951. In 1973, he moved to England where he met his wife and decided to settle. He wrote many travel articles for some English newspaper for many years. After living in Britain for two decades, he decided to move back to the United State in 2000. He thought that he is an alien because the place he born is so different from the place existing in his memory. Hence, he wrote the book.
His other famous works: A Walk in the woods, In a sunburned country, Short history of nearly everything.
