Description - The Days of London Past by David Matthews
In "Days of London Past" the imaginative though mainly factual stories that unfold on a particular day in a selected century, bring that past vividly to life. London and it's rich history has always had the power to fascinate and absorb. By using some of the famous individuals who have enriched London's existence at various stages of their lives, the effect is one of being transported as if in a time machine. If you have not before been familiar with characters such as Pepys, Johnson and Caxton, the stories in this book will ensure that you will become more intimately acquainted with the personalities behind the names. The stories are so richly detailed with the knowledge we have of those times, that London itself becomes more real through the centuries. The result is a thoroughly absorbing mini celebration of some of London is most famous characters and the London town they inhabited.
