A little orange guidebook to the disorienting city of London. Learn about the Victorian housing and industry, a town structure that remains medieval and indeed pre-medieval. Determined by long-vanished hedgerows and field boundaries, old property boundaries, and rivers now channelled into the subterranean culverts. London is a city where the past has never been successfully obliterated. It has never undergone a political revolution, thus no topographical revolutions either.

In an attempt to show where author and poet Hans Christian Andersen found inspiration and ideas for many of his stories and fairy tales, Preben Eider began with the descriptions and letters from Andersen’s diaries and letters, and embarked on a journey across Denmark in “the writer’s footsteps”. Eider attempted in his beautiful color photographs to illlustrate the Denmark characterized by Andersen a century and a half ago. The text is Andersen’s own and is surprisingly suited to the pictures that it has still been possible to take in modern day Denmark.

Norway has so much to offer: fjords and the midnight sun, the stave churches, monasteries and medieval castles, the fascinating insight provided by museums, where the sun-baked log farmhouses that once perched on steep mountain slopes bear witness to previous generations. The text is enlivened by myths and legends, art, social history, quotations, and color photographs of the majestic scenery. This is a wonderful book for those who will be visiting Norway, or for the dedicated armchair traveler.
