One of the worlds greatest cities comes to life in this engaging little book. A Very Peculiar History ™ takes a tour of iconic eras and landmarks, while also presenting lesser-known attractions and trivia. Youll find curious recipes for cockney delicacies, descriptions of “lost buildings,” and lists of royal residences, famous markets, classic film scenes, and more. Humorous cartoon-style illustrations with amusing captions and speech bubbles round out this irresistible London visit.
