This is not a guidebook. Nor is it a travel book. It is a book in which memory is the motor.

It is about the city of London, where John Russell lived for some fifty years and still considers himself an insider, though he has spent twenty years in happy exile in New York. As the author says, "I have never tried to set down what I once saw and will never forget."

In all, whether the reader knows London well or only slightly, there is so much here of perception and delight, so much of fresh insight and remembered moment, that the city seen through this articulate observer's eyes will feel at once both new and familiar.
