The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book edges.

In his deeply funny new memoir, Bill Bryson travels back in time to explore the ordinary kid he once was and the curious world of 1950s America. It was a happy time, when almost everything was good for you, including DDT, cigarettes and nuclear fallout.

This is a book about growing up in a specific time and place. But in Bryson's hands, it becomes everyone's story, one that will speak volumes - especially to anyone who has ever been young. (back cover)
