'The most ingenious, informative, inimitable, individual,
innovative, insightful, inspiring, instructive, intelligible,
intoxicating, intricate guide to the great city that I have ever
seen. Bravo!' Philip Pullman 'A glorious and delightful compendium
and guide to London from Above, Below and all the in-betweens' Neil
Gaiman Curiocity is a London book unlike any other. Its 26 chapters
weave together facts, myths, stories, riddles, essays, diagrams,
illustrations and itineraries to explore every aspect of life in
the capital. At the heart of each chapter is a hand-drawn map,
charting everything from thecity's islands and underground spaces,
to its erogenous zones and dystopian futures. Taking you from Atlas
to Zones, via Congestion, Folkmoot, Pearls and Xenophilia,
Curiocity will transform the way you see London. 'The greatest book
about London published in modern times ... an illuminated
manuscript for the 21st century city' Londonist 'Here is something
different ... the literary equivalent of Sir John Soane's Museum
... quite breathtaking' The Times Literary Supplement 'Remarkable
... a nerdy Londoner's paradise ... an exquisite 450-page cross
between an encyclopaedia and an artwork' Evening Standard 'Utterly
extraordinary' Tom Holland 'However well you think you know London,
you will discover something newon virtually every page, and the
things you know well will be seen completely differently' The
London Society
