111 literary places in London that you shouldn't miss

Philpot, Terry2023
Books
Few, if any, cities have a literary history as rich as that of London. Writers have written about it; and lived, loved, stayed and died there. Here are 111 stories to be revealed. Among them are the lives of writers and their characters, and the plots and venue. Where can you see the first printed book in the western world, or visit the library with no books? Where did two poets marry secretly and then flee to Italy; and what happened when Sigmund Freud met Salvador Dali? What is the mystery of the signed copy of Mein Kampf? This is a guide to the capital unlike any other - not only enlightening to residents who may have thought that they knew their city (and their books), but the visitor, too.
