A vivid picture of capital punishment in a capital that seems to have thrived on executions.
"London - A Very Peculiar History" is Jim Pipe''s humorous look at the rich, varied and as moniker suggests, peculiar, history of London. This handy little hardback is full witty illustrations, maps and more.
When the title also adds “with added jellied eels”, you get a sense that the people behind this book really do know what makes London the richly textured city it is: be it gleaning the Roman, Saxon and Victorian history of the sewers (and their ‘Big Stink’), or the impact of two World Wars, everything slightly odd yet thoroughly interesting is included here.
A glossary is included for those making this peculiar history their very first look at the past of this glorious city.
