ISBN: 1324090723


The international bestseller that mesmerizingly charts quixotic journeys through London's past, Mudlark thrills Anglophiles and history lovers alike. Long heralded as a city treasure herself, beloved "Mudlark" Lara Maiklem tirelessly treks along the Thames' muddy shores, unearthing a myriad of artifacts and their stories--from Roman hairpins and perfectly preserved Tudor shoes to the clay pipes that were smoked in riverside taverns. Seamlessly interweaving reflections from her own life with meditations on the art of wandering, Maiklem ultimately delivers a treatise "as deep and as rich as the Thames and its treasures" (Stanley Tucci).
