Footprints in Paris by Gillian Tindall

Gillian Tindall is well known for the quality of her writing and the meticulous nature of her research. She is a master of miniaturist history, making much of an unknown person or single situation, and staking out a particular territory in idiosyncratic non-fiction that is brilliantly evocative of place. She lives in London, in Kentish Town, the subject of her book The Fields Beneath: The History of One London Village. Among her well-loved books about France are Celestine: Voices from a French Village and The Journey of Martin Nadaud. Her most recent history is the much-praised The House by the Thames.
