(Paperback)

Takes readers on a tour of London's most formative age - the age of love, sex, intellect, art, great ambition and fantastic ruin. This book is about the Georgians who called London their home, from dukes and artists to rent boys and hot air balloonists meeting dog-nappers and life-models along the way.
