Part One of the 'A Tale of Two Cities' series, this richly layered portrait of London takes in the British Museum's extraordinary collections, the great open spaces of Hyde Park, and the pageantry of the royal palaces. But London is equally a city of neighborhoods, markets, and the ancient pubs where Dickens drank and Churchill plotted.
From the heart of London, the journey then moves to Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon and the beautiful countryside of the Cotswolds. Before heading back to London, tour the city of Bath and explore the ancient mystery of Stonehenge on the Salisbury Plain.
London and the surrounding region offer more concentrated history, literature, and art per square mile than perhaps anywhere on earth. This travelogue makes that abundance navigable and deeply personal, pairing each landmark with the literature and history that give it meaning.
