Book

The author explores the foundation myths of London, its legendary residents and the rituals and lore of its taverns, tunnels and creatures, both real and imagined, with attention to its ancient ceremonies, both surviving and now 'lost'. The book recounts the known facts and the myths attached to famous characters such as Dick Whittington, Oliver Cromwell, Nell Gwyn and Dick Turpin, but also many lesser known Londoners.
