Publishers Description: From the author of "Notes from a Small Island" and "The Lost Continent" comes this humorous report on his walk along the Appalachian Trail. The Trail covers 14 states and over 2000 miles, and stretches along the east coast of America from Maine in the north to Georgia in the south. It is famous for being the longest continuous footpath in the world. It snakes through some of the wildest and most specactular landscapes in America, as well as through some of its most poverty-stricken and primitive backwoods areas. Industry Reviews The author of Notes From A Small Island obviously felt the need to stretch his legs after quitting England for the United States.A Walk in the Woods, recounts Brysons hike along the longest continuous footpath in the world, the 2000-mile-long Appalachian Trail. And as youd expect from Bryson, this is no dry documentary - the enjoyment lies as much in his hilarious turn of phrase and eye for the incongruous as in his meetings with moonshiners, rednecks, gun-totin nutcases and wild animals.
