The book will vividly evoke moments in the lives of Londoners in the past, providing snapshots of the city’s inhabitants at work, at play, in pursuit of money, sex, entertainment, pleasure and power. A prefect book for readers of The Assassins Cloak or Craig Taylors Londoners, and essential reading for all those who love the city of London. From the DustjacketA London Year is an anthology of short diary entries, one or more for each day of the year, which, taken together, provides an impressionistic portrait of life in the city from Tudor times to the twenty-first century. There are more than two hundred featured writers, with a short biography for each. The most famous diarist of all – Samuel Pepys – is there, as well as some of today’s finest diarists like Alan Bennett and Chris Mullin. There are coronations and executions, election riots and zeppelin raids, duels, dust-ups and drunken sprees, among everyday moments like Brian Eno cycling in Kilburn or George Eliot walking on Wimbledon Common. Vividly evoking moments in the lives of Londoners in the past, providing snapshots of the city’s inhabitants at work, at play, in pursuit of money, sex, entertainment, pleasure and power, A London Year is the perfect book for all who live in or love this eternal, ever-changing city. About the CompilersA former bookseller and Web-site editor, TRAVIS ELBOROUGH has been a freelance writer, author, and cultural commentator for the last decade. His books include The Bus We Loved: London’s Affair with the Routemaster, Wish You Were Here: England on Sea and London Bridge in America. NICK RENNISON has worked as a writer, editor, and bookseller for more than twenty years. His London Blue Plaque Guide has been through three editions in the last decade and he has also published The Book of London Lists, described by the London Evening Standard as a book that “can teach even the most die-hard Londoner something they didn’t know.” Travis and Nick’s previous book is London Quiz.Very Interesting read!ReviewsFIVE STARS!! … I was excited to get a copy of A London Year through GoodReads. As one might guess from the title, the book is rather ambitious: it seeks to capture London through diaries, journals, and letters written by its inhabitants and visitors from the 1500s to the present day. The diarists include not only the usual suspects such as Samuel Pepys and Fanny Burney, but authors, actors, politicians, scientists, a monarch, and regular citizens who just happened to keep diaries. Several entries are presented for each day of the year, interspersed with photos and illustrations. Each month is marked by a map, with the maps becoming more modern as the year progresses. Like London, the book is sizable but the format lends itself to episodic reading- I read it in small chunks as I had time in the evening. (At over 500 pages, this is not an ideal book for carrying to read on the bus or train, unless you’re planning on the electronic version.)I thoroughly enjoyed the book- the authors had a large task in sorting through the material available and deciding what should be included, and they have done an admirable job. There is an even mix of entries from various time periods, and it seemed that anytime I thought to myself that I hadn’t seen a particular century or era represented in a while, it popped up on the very next page. It covers not only obvious major events such as the Blitz or the Great Fire, but also smaller ones, such as the underwhelmed reaction to the return of Queen Henrietta Maria or the explosion of a munitions workshop, as well as more personal happenings such as a shopping trip or a meal with friends. There are also moments that are amusing in hindsight, as Londoners give their opinions on new-fangled machines and notions. (One of my particular favorites was the man shaking his head at his friend who declared circa 1900 that within twenty years there would be no more horse-drawn omnibuses in London. ‘A bit of a dreamer’ was the diarist’s verdict.)Some things found in these pages are lost to modern Londoners- frost fairs, grazing animals, actual docks in the Docklands, and executions are examples that spring to mind. But it also brings home that some facets of London life are timeless- wars break out and end, kings and queens come and go, technology changes through the years, but through it all the people of London are always up for a spectacle and there are always Londoners grousing about prices, landlords, the difficulty of getting around town, and the fact that the city isn’t what it used to be.London – MY favourite city .. Such a fascinating way to tell the history of my favourite city. Loved the insights into people’s real lives – this book made me feel closer to London and the people who have called it home. What a terrific book …. to end the year on! This is laid out each day with excerpts from various writers, taken from their journals and letters. I’ve read it from 1st January through to 31st December, a day at a time. A fascinating glimpse of the city over the last 500 years, reading about notable events from people who saw them first hand and seeing how names and places have changed.I absolutely loved this book. …. An entire year of extracts from diaries, letters and journals all connected to London and stretching from the 16th Century to now. The entries come from a wide range of eras and a wide range of authors – from the well known (Pepys, Orwell, Alan Bennett) to the unknown. It could easily have been twice as long and I wouldn’t have complained one bit.Fantastic read. …. A wonderful idea and perfect for dipping in now and again. If you’re interested in London and/or diaries and letters from history I would recommend this wholeheartedly. A fascinating insight into how society and London has changed over the centuries.ah . contemporary London … A fascinating insight into contemporary London written by diarists over five centuries. I feel the reader would benefit from reading it on a daily basis each read pertaining to the current day.Marvellous Reading!WHY do ebayers buy from US?Because you KNOW what you’re getting.
