An informal history of the English language in America by the inimitable Bill Bryson. Tells the story of how American arose out of the English language, and along the way, de-mytho logizes his native land - explaining how a dusty desert hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', and more.
