Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from More About Unknown London "Why don't you write a book upon London?" I have been asked. I am wholly incorrigible. Not for me are the encyclopaedists. I wrote a book upon a single street in London once - to be exact, upon the 536 yards of Fleet Street that you may measure between Ludgate Circus and Temple Bar - and a truthful reviewer accused me of writing a quarter of a million words. (I mean nothing by the phrase, accepting all reviewers as truthful, else how could they be so kind?) I plead guilty to the quarter of a million words, but I am not writing London complete on the same scale. With serious books, of inordinate length, to ray name, if any reputation I may have surviving them it must be - well, of that kind of person. My great-nieces tell me that only short-sighted people read serious books. Of one such, of which I proudly claim authorship, my artist brother assured me that it was excellent, saying that he read it at nights in bed, before going to sleep.
