English
By (author): Gilly Pickup
Spooky, gruesome, weird but true things about one of the worlds greatest cities come alive in The A-Z of Curious London. Discover Londons tiniest house, a 4,000-year-old mouse made from Nile clay, and have a giggle at things people leave on Londons transport (including false teeth, a human skull and a park bench - yes, really.) Why did a dentist keep his dead wife on view in a shop window? Where did a shopkeeper murder 150 customers? Which Queen showed her bosom to an Ambassador? Why was a man arrested for wearing a top hat? In the City proper, why is no thoroughfare called a road? To sum up, eccentrics, legends, folklore, murders, scandals, ghosts, incredible characters and oodles of wow factor, its all here.
