In the summer of 1994 Nigel Williams, his wife and his three sons set out for a journey across America. Williams and his sons had never been to America before, and his wife had never flown. Taking inspiration from Mark Twain - and many less-celebrated travellers around the USA - Williams provides, in this sequel to Two and a Half Men in a Boat, an account of his adventures in the New World. The author's other books include East of Wimbledon and The Wimbledon Poisoner.
