In this image released by the British government, author Bill Bryson, right, whose wry travel writing includes an affectionate look at Britain, receives an honorary Order of the British Empire, or OBE, from Britain's Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell in London on Dec. 13, 2006. Bryson's award is honorary because he is not a British citizen.
