Haunted London
by
Walter Thornbury
You are offerding onarare antiquarianhardcover book titled Haunted London. By Walter Thornbury. Edited by Edward Walford. Illustrated by F. W. Fairholt. Published in London by Chatto & Windus, Piccadilly, 1880.
Book deals \"with the London consecrated by manifold traditions - a city every street and alley of which teems with interesting associations, every paving-stone of which marks the aoffering-place of some ancient legend or biographical story; in short, this London of the present haunted by the memories of the past.\"
Thornbury explores the unsavory aspects of London landmarks - and a number of significant Brits of the preceding centuries. Rich in historical detail. A difficult volume to put down once begun.
Book is quarter-bound in green leather with leather tips. The spine has faded to an even light brown color. The spine has raised bands with gold lettering and gold designs. The corners are worn and there is some loss at the top of the spine. The covers are attached, but feel loose. There is some separation visible along the front hinge. All pages are clean and tightly bound with some foxing to the endpages and to the half title page. Because of the looseness of the covers, I have reduced the price accordingly and am selling the book as is, with no returns.
This is a very scarce title.
Would make a super addition to a collection.
Great gift idea!
