Vidlit: Bill Bryson

Fans of Bill Bryson have a treat in store for them. Sure, maybe you’ve already bought his newest book, a personal memoir entitled The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid. But over at one of my favorite Flash-based entertainment book sites, Vidlit, they’ve got a very satisfying little animated blurb online that will help ease you nicely into the weekend.

Narrated by the master travel-writer/humorist himself, the fun, four-plus minute cartoon here will tell you everything you need to know about the word chaise longue…or maybe it won’t. But it’s still entertaining anyway. I just know that Adrienne would love to do all her Words For the Travel Wise this way. And hey, is that lil Bill himself in the photo? How adorable.
