"The Secret Lore of London"
Mar 29, 2016, 18:34
I purchased The Secret Lore of London over the weekend and thought I'd mention here under London rather than add it to the too long 'book thread'. Anyone who lives/lived in, or has connections with, London will love it although I'll be the first to say its probably not for those only interested in evidence based archaeology. Description on back cover says "London is an ancient city, whose foundation dates back literally thousands of years into legendary prehistory. Not surprisingly, it has accumulated a large number of stories, both historic and mythical, during that period, many of which, though faithfully at the time, have lain almost forgotten in dusty libraries throughout the city."
I'm finding it fascinating.

Edited by John Matthews and Caroline Wise, its chapters are written by contributors such as Nigel Pennick.
