Description

With diary entries, quotations, poems, essays and extracts, this is an exquisite time capsule of literary London which takes you on a captivating journey through the city.

London: An Illustrated Literary Companion, compiled by Rosemary Gray, captures the varying moods of London over recent centuries through great works written in its honour, featuring authors including Charles Dickens, William Wordsworth, Virginia Woolf, Arthur Conan Doyle and many more. It is beautifully illustrated with drawings and engravings from distinguished artists, including Gustave Doré, George Cruikshank, James McNeill Whistler and Hugh Thomson, as well as a variety of prints and photographs.

The perfect gift for Londoners old and new, and for all those who have been charmed by this wonderful city.

Part of the new Macmillan Collector's Library series of gorgeous pocket-sized travel paperbacks, featuring Treasures of Cornwall, Yorkshire: A Literary Landscape and Paris: A Literary Anthology.
About Rosemary Gray
Rosemary Gray is a lifelong London enthusiast, whose career has been in writing, editing and publishing. She has compiled collections of short stories, poems, fairy tales and essays for various publishers, and has created the Everlasting Diary and the Alice in Wonderland Everlasting Diary for the Macmillan Collector’s Library. The gathering together of the material for this illustrated literary companion was a challenging task as so many artists have illustrated parts of the city and so many authors have written about London – many praising, many decrying – but the final presentation has achieved a balance of opinions and comments from a host of the famous and the less famous.
