A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Beneath the carapace of busy London lie relics of an old enchantment, when Guildhall was the palace of Trojan kings and Westminster Abbey was the holy of holies, secluded on Thorney Island. Follow the itineraries or dip into pages at will, and Sacred London will let you see the capital in a new light. Bathed in the gleam of saints and angels, discover a city of river worship, ancient stones, and holy wells. Visit places of sanctuary and haunts of peace, picked out from the scrum of the modern city, quiet churches and forgotten wildernesses, in the very heart of London. Sanctuaries and haunts of peace! - Trojan kings! - Elfin hunts! - Holy Wells! - Churches! Statuary! Obelisks! - Big enough to absorb the explorer, but small enough to fit in your pocket, Sacred London puts the real, enduring city at your fingertips for the price of a coffee and a bun.
