Bill Bryson wurde 1951 in Des Moines, Iowa, geboren. 1977 zog er nach Großbritannien und schrieb dort mehrere Jahre u. a. für die Times und den Independent. Mit seinem Englandbuch »Reif für die Insel« gelang Bryson der Durchbruch. Heute ist er in England der erfolgreichste Sachbuchautor der Gegenwart. Seine Bücher werden in viele Sprachen übersetzt und stürmen stets die internationalen Bestsellerlisten. 1996 kehrte Bill Bryson mit seiner Familie in die USA zurück, wo es ihn jedoch nicht lange hielt. Er war erneut »Reif für die Insel«, wo er heute wieder lebt.
