London is unrivalled as a source of inspiration for writers from
Geoffrey Chaucer to J.K. Rowling. From 221B Baker Street to the Old
Curiosity Shop will explore the capital both from the viewpoint of
the many writers who have used it as a stage for their plots and
their characters; and of the readers whose imagination is fired by
the knowledge that they are standing outside the home of David
Copperfield on the Strand or Count Dracula's residence in
Piccadilly. All of London's clubs, pubs, restaurants, houses and
streets that have been made famous in the works of the likes of Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, Ian Fleming, Charles Dickens and Evelyn Waugh
are featured in this exhaustively researched volume. Listed
geographically, each entry provides a description of the location,
its place in literature and its inspiration. From Fleming's
legendary Blades Club in Mayfair, that made appearances in both
Moonraker and Goldfinger, to Waugh's bohemian Shepheard's Hotel
from Vile Bodies, that was based on the celebrated Cavendish Hotel,
to the haunts of Sherlock Holmes and Bertie Wooster, From 221B
Baker Street to the Old Curiosity Shop will appeal to all lovers of
classic fiction set in the great city.
