How would you spot a witch or a wizard? And how exactly would you describe one? Do they all wear pointy hats, use wands, and sport pointy beards, or are they more difficult to detect? Are they simply misguided hippies or do they really exist? Make up your own mind as you read about London's witching times, including stories about the real Philosopher's Stone, Elizabeth I's favorite wizard, the witch-hunting craze that swept Britain, and how being a lonely old lady with a fondness for pets could be your undoing.

Everything you always wanted to know about Victorian London:
- What was The Great Stink (not a Victorian teenager's bedroom)? - Life (or most likely death) in the workhouse - Chimney sweeps and apprentices--the life of an average working child - Begging and pickpocketing--survival on the streets - The diary of Queen Vic (the woman, not the pub) - Life in the rookeries - Jack the Ripper, opium dens and the Victorian underworld - Charles Dickens, Avenging Angel - Public hangings and other entertainments - The turn of the tide--the age of reform
From the audacious Crystal Palace--a symbol of the age--to the slums of St Giles, Victorian London is a place of greater contrasts than in any other period. The more shocking because it is the most recent period in the series, here the streets are teeming with gents and pickpockets, vicars and prostitutes, philanthropists and murderers.

There's no doubt about it, London has always attracted a better class of royal killer. But just how bloody were they? Among other favorite royal baddies, in this book you'll find Henry VIII--Husband from Hell, or just a man with a big heart?; Richard III--Murdering uncle or misunderstood softie?; Elizabeth I--Vengeful harpie or brilliant babe?; King John--Rotten ruler or just a shortie with a height complex? With body counts and torture tallies for each king and queen, you can decide for yourselves which one was the capital's most murderous monarch.

From the dark and dangerous alleys of Tudor London to the busy streets of today's city, spies have always found plenty of work. In this book, you can read about how the Gunpowder Plot was uncovered, who the highest-ever paid spy was, Elizabeth I's wily spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham, the code-cracking boffins of World War II, and the real James Bond.
