Kurzbeschreibung
Fully updated for the most intrepid London visitors and residents, this spine-chilling guide wends it way through eerie and, in many cases, long-forgotten parts of England's capital city. From Deadman's Walk and the Screaming Wood to Dick Turpin and Jack the Ripper, professional tour guide and inveterate ghost hunter Richard Jones leaves no haunted house or lost soul unmentioned. Join him on a truly hair-raising journey through shadowed alleyways, sleepy pubs and the darkest recesses of London's historic homes - if you dare! Chillingly illustrated with atmospheric pictures and complete route maps - and with full details of transport, opening times and the moments when ghosts are most likely to appear - "Walking Haunted London" is another winning title from New Holland's London series.
Über den Autor
Richard Jones has written and lectured on all aspects of historic London, but his predominant interest has always been haunted England - with a particular affection for the ghosts of London. For over twenty years he has been guiding visitors and Londoners alike on ghost tours and has conducted much personal research into the capital's haunted places.

Are you intrested in scary tales and you want to see not ordinary London's places? That's the book for you!

Even for those who don't believe in ghosts! It's a good idea to have some sort of a quest when you travel, whether it be the search for the driest pub cider or the quintessential Wren spire. Without some such unifying theme, travel can become a pointless round of obligatory tourist stops. Hunting hauntings is an excellent quest because it inevitably involves two of the main joys of travel in England--history and atmosphere. I have spent four fascinating vacations in England seeking the most haunted site in the Isles and the ultimate English garden--with liberal dashes of theatre and museums for variety-and still I have only scratched the surface of each subject. "Walking Haunted London" was a wonderful addition to my most recent trip. I took the entire Chiswick walk (backwards) and did portions of the Old City, City of the Dead, Westminster, and Covent Garden walks. All creepily enjoyable! Not only are the walks well-described and the ghosts' stories enthusiastically recounted, but the book gives good hints about other important matters, such as cosy pubs and interesting historical sites on or near the routes. (By the way, I understand that Richard Jones also guides the "Original Psychic Ghost Walk" in London many nights of the year. I haven't taken this walking tour myself, but if his storytelling skills match his storywriting skills, it's probably great. If interested, check the TimeOut listings when in town.)

A MUST-HAVE Book if you're visiting London
5. März 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
EXCELLENT book. Very well written and moves right along. Fantastic, simple maps that look easy to follow--going to give them the test next time I'm in London. Even without being in London, just reading the text was extremely enjoyable. I've read TONS of ghost books; and he's found haunts of London I didn't even know existed; along with the "old standard" ghosts of Tower of London. This book is INDISPENSIBLE if you're visiting London--or if you just need a good scare!

An excellent guide!!

I went to London earlier this year and bought the book because it was exactly the type of thing I wanted to do during my trip. The book was terrific!! We did several of the walking tours, and each was right on the mark. We decided to do the Jack the Ripper walk on our own instead of with a tour group. Each direction was precise. We were extremely impressed!!! This book is a great idea for those visiting London!!
