Library of Luminaries: Virginia Woolf: An I… von Zena Alkayat
Lovely little book, with charming illustrations.
London Villages by Zena Alkayat is a fun overview of many of London's villages.
This is an ideal travel guide for those wanting to do more than the usual tourist sites (though I would certainly suggest first time visitors hit most of the main places as well). I fully intend to take this book and another London Guide titles Quiet London with me next time I visit.
Between this book and the internet, a visitor, and even some Londoners I think, can spend a bit of time virtually visiting the villages then plan a nice walkabout or two for the physical visit. The websites are included for the places highlighted so you can learn more about both the place and what might be around it.
Depending on the type of visit you might be planning (quiet with walking tours or more mainstream with bigger crowds) this book can serve as your main guide or as your "get away from the crowds" guide. Either way, you won't be disappointed.
Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.… (mehr)

Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.I love this book! Its so small and pretty and gives a very quick summary of the life of Coco Chanel. I'd be interested in collecting the rest of the series.
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.Having read and very much enjoyed this book on a recent trip to New York, I promptly gave it to the very bright five-year old child of the friends I was staying with. She usually ignores such gifts but this time she scooped it up and read it to herself right away and then insisted on reading it to us. She was completely taken by the book and more importantly by Kahlo. Trips to the museums followed I am happy to say!
