A great general history of the city,
By A Customer
This review is from: London: The Biography of a City (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book in preparation for a trip to London. It really helped to focus on the city and its people through the ages. On occasion, the details threatened to get a bit overwhelming. It followed the history of London from pre-Roman times to the modern era by time period. We look at how they lived and the quality of their life. The book is well illustrated with photographs, maps and drawings. I went to London with a friend who had NOT read the book and I found myself appreciating aspects of older London more than she. I also appreciated modern London more because I know about its struggles. I credit my appreciation and knowledge to this book. I highly recommend it, but don't take my word for it. Some of my guides recommended it, too.
