Discovering Elizabethan London: Diary and Sketches [Paperback] Thomson, Arline K.

Maine artist Arline K. Thomson first visited London in 1974 and returned on many occasions to sketch and write journal-entries that illuminate the vestiges of places described almost four centuries ago by John Stowe in A Survey of London. Much of what Thomson experienced is included in this volume of 160 architectural sketches, diary entries, and locating maps. Since its publication, this book has been used by many readers as a personal guide for exploring London, but readers who are not able to view the actual sights described by Arline Thomson will likewise find her account enjoyable for its artistry, personal insight and literary charm.
