my grandfather came from London.
No ghost stories here!
Kerrigan
The title apparently refers to London being “haunted” by its past. To be honest, I only listened to the preface through the first part of the second chapter. The preface does admit that the book has “less to do with” spirits than history, but I missed that on my first listen, so I was fairly disappointed. So far it has been about uprisings and upsets in London history with special and detailed emphasis on beheadings. (The author assumes the reader to have a certain familiarity with English political and religious history, which I personally lack.) Would you like to know how long it takes for a head on a spike to- um- let’s say “decay” enough to fall off? Now I know, and I wish I didn’t. The author is bloodthirsty. I am less so. Not my cup of tea.
My Grandfather knew this
M Gordon
My grandfather was born in London, and heard most of these stories.
