Walking Literary London by Stephen Browning
London possesses a literary heritage which is unique and in large part unrivalled in any city in the world. In this book, literary London is presented through its authors and literature: William Shakespeare, Andrea Levy, G.A. Henty, Geoffrey Chaucer, P.L. Travers, Samuel Pepys, Sherlock Holmes, Charles Dickens, Una Marson, Joe Orton, John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Phillis Wheatley, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Katherine Mansfield, Harry Potter and Samuel Selvon to name just a very few. The text takes the reader on a series of walks, each of which is original and unique, the result of twenty years' exploration of this wonderful city by the author. Detailed maps have been specially commissioned. The text is accompanied by over 80 original photographs taken by the author. In these pages you will find the details of hundreds of writers and their works; wherever you walk in the great city of London - even if solely in imagination from an armchair - the experience is going to be extraordinary.
