"A Walk in the Woods" (BDD Audio) describes Bryson attempt to reacquaint himself with his native USA by walking the Appalachian Trail, after living in Great Britain for nearly two decades. The trail offers an astonishing landscape of forests and lakes--and to comic writer Bill Bryson, it also provides endless opportunities to witness the silliness of his fellow human beings.

With Stephen Katz, an out-of-shape buddy from Iowa, Bryson meets a bizarre assortment of hilarious characters. A Walk in the Woods tells the history of the Appalachian Trail, makes a plea for the conservation of America's wilderness and is an adventure, a comedy, and a celebration.
