Underwords The Hidden City

"London has always been a chameleon figure, revealing itself in a multitude of different guises, each as individual as the dreams and aspirations of its many inhabitants. The theme of this collection is the hidden city, and each of the fourteen stories vividly expresses a different mood and aspect of the city, and the undercurrents of emotion that surge through the capital - the irrepressible mixture of excitement or tension, fear or freedom."--BOOK JACKET.
