Conveys the excitement, diversity and richness of London at a time when the city was arguably at the height of its power, uniqueness and attraction.
This unique and beautifully illustrated anthology tells the history of London in the words of those that experienced and lived through it. Kings, merchants, ministers, citizens, foreign visitors, poets, journalists and schoolboys remember the events--some momentous, some everyday--that have shaped the London we know today, from Boudicca's rebellion against the Roman invaders down to the funeral of Winston Churchill. By tapping a wide range of fascinating written sources, familiar and forgotten, The Chronicles of London brings the city and its people vividly to life.
