A Purchase Inspired By Curiosity

Whenever I walk around London I always notice the Blue Plaques on buildings and have been surprised to stumble on former residences of everyone from George Orwell to Jimi Hendrix. I picked this book up to satisfy my curiosity around how many of these Blue Plaques are out there and who else is represented. It's a nice little volume with all of the Plaques listed alphabetically with locations and a short bio of the featured historical person represented. In a city as old and as large as London it is quite a collection of characters. The book also contains maps and an index of the people by profession.
