Question of the week:Do you have a favourite non-fiction book about London? "Highgate Cemetery:Victorian Valhalla by Felix Barker, photos by John Gay.
I was given this book at the age of 13 by my Grandfather and I found it massively captivating. It’s regarded by a number of people as one of the best books or collections of iconic images relating to the world-famous cemetery and is packed with atmosphere. It also goes a fair distance in explaining many of the more significant sites & attractions of the site. Well worth a look-in and it doesn’t take long to absorb."- Hal
(NB - Request a copy via ILL if you're interested - our partner library has a copy. Purple ILL sheets are in the library. - Miss Alice)
