Product Description

Synopsis
From London's roots as a Roman encampment, when the conquering Emperor Claudius led his war elephants triumphantly across the Thames, to "this modern London of jagged ruins and hatless crowds", H.V. Morton brings the city's past to life in this text.

5.0 out of 5 stars classic travel writing !, 7 Jul 2008
H.V.Morton was one of the great travel writers and if you read Bill Bryson,Paul Theroux etc they all at some stage acknowledge that Morton blazed a trail for them to follow. "In Search of London" is one of his best and what is particularly fascinating is the period Morton writes about - 5/6 years after World War 2. It's a London hugely damaged by the Blitz and struggling to recover and for those with better knowledge of London than me it must be particularly interesting to compare his descriptions of particular bomb damaged locations with the same scene today. Morton has the magical ability to blend current day scenes with history and to bring by-gone times vividly to life - in his description of the Tower Of London he mentions Henry's six wives and you really feel you are with Ann Boleyn when she goes to her execution.The whole book remains vivid and alive - a time-machine back over fifty years to a very different London era here faithfully observed and recorded. Highly recommended.
