London has been an inspiration to poets throughout the centuries. For Dunbar it was 'the Flour of Cities all'. Spenser praised the 'Sweet Thames'. Lord Byron, who, let's face it, knew an old rogue when he saw one, dubbed it 'the Devil's Drawing Room' but even Wordsworth - not exactly a fan of the urban - felt compelled to pen an ode on Westminster Bridge. Oranges and Lemons: Poems about London is a unique collection that looks at the sweet, and the sour, sides of life in this truly illimitable city. Featuring verse from the giants of English literature (from Chaucer and Shakespeare to Keats, Hardy and Lawrence), ballads, street cries and nursery rhymes, this wonderfully rich, anthology celebrates all of the town's vitality, its splendour and its squalor. Oranges and Lemons is a volume Londoners, tourists and poetry lovers alike will relish.
