Walking Dickensian London: Twenty-Five Original Walks Through London's Victorian Quarters (Interlink Walking Guides) [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

Dickens haunted London. He walked it over and over, generally at night, sometimes along its glittering avenues but often through its filthiest rookeries, where his new state as a gentleman required a burly chaperon. In this collection of 23 city treks and excursions around Dickens's country home and in his beloved Rochester, Jones describes walks (most running about two hours) that combine settings from Dickens's novels and places important to his life. He includes worthy commentary, the "best of times" to go, concise directions and maps, interesting places of refreshment, period illustrations, and well-chosen photographs.
