POEMS OF LONDON (BATSFORD) (HB)

A wonderful anthology of poetry celebrating England's capital and life as a Londoner, in which epic poems celebrating the city’s vast and majestic presence sit alongside Cockney ditties about pie, mash and jellied eels. Verses from poets such as William Wordsworth, William Blake and John Betjeman are accompanied by beautiful illustrations – many taken from iconic Tube posters – of London's famous sights, green parks and Londoners going about their daily lives.
