Summary: From one of the most beloved and best selling authors in the English language, a vivid, nostalgic, and utterly hilarious memoir of growing up in the 1950s Bill Bryson was born in the middle of the American century – 1951 – in the middle of the United States – Des Moines, Iowa – in the middle of the largest generation in American history – the baby boomers. As one of the best and funniest writers alive he is perfectly positioned to mine, his memories of a totally all-American childhood for 24-carat memoir gold. Like millions of his generational peers, Bill Bryson grew up with a rich fantasy life as a superhero. In his case, he ran around his house and neighborhood with an old football jersey with a thunderbolt on it and a towel about his neck that served as his cape, leaping tall buildings in a single bound and vanquishing awful evil doers (and morons) - in his head – as “The Thunderbolt Kid.” See slides for complete summary Copyright: 2006 Genres: Nonfiction Memoir Biography Autobiography 270 Pages Includes nostalgic photographs Call Outs: See Photos Minor wear and tear on the cover The Y2K influence from Tik Tok is in full effect on Posh with sustainable shopping A great unisex gift for Christmas, Hanukkah, birthday or just because Present for yourself, mom, dad, sister, brother, or friend Bundle discount on 2 or more items not purchased during a show Check out my entire closet ~ Luvkitty ~ for handcrafted and other great items for sale T5
