There is everyday magic in the tales of London. Some stories are
swirling in the waters of the Thames; some are hidden in the old stones
that lie beneath our modern pavements. In London Folk Tales for Children
Anne and Sef have gathered stories from the words and memories of
Londoners past and present. They tell of the mighty river, the streets,
and the hills of London. You'll find stories of babies that turn into
flowers, of tower ravens and a two-headed bird, and a child who has to
travel across the world all alone. You'll also meet the people of this
welcoming city: ever since the Romans, people have come here from all
over the world to become Londoners. They've brought delicious foods, new
music and hundreds of languages, but, most of all, great stories -
London stories.
