Few, if any, cities have a literary history as rich as that of London. Writers have written about it; and lived, loved, stayed and died there.
In this guide, there are 111 stories to be revealed. Among them are the lives of writers and their characters, and the plots and venue. Where can you see the first printed book in the western world, or visit the library with no books? Where did two poets marry secretly and then flee to Italy; and what happened when Sigmund Freud met Salvador Dali?
