OverviewIn this latest literary guide, we chart 42 locations from the life and work of Douglas Adams. Although best known as author of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy 'trilogy' of five books, in which in which much of the action happens several hyperspace jumps from the debris of the earth, his work is peppered with London locations, and the city was his home for decades. From Shepherds Bush to Highgate, we tour streets that Adams knew and cared about, unhappily noting the rampant development of Islington - 'Grim concrete monoliths, eyeing the new spaces in Upper Street where they hoped to spawn their horrid progeny' and the timeless joy of Hyde Park - 'Hyde Park is stunning. Everything Everything about it is stunning except for the rubbish on Monday mornings.' Using all of his books, biographies and fresh research, this guide offers a glimpse of the city through the eyes of a much-missed author Full Product DetailsAuthor: Yvette KellerPublisher: Herb Lester Associates Ltd Imprint: Herb Lester Associates Ltd Dimensions: Width: 14.50cm , Height: 0.50cm , Length: 20.80cm ISBN: 9781739897154ISBN 10: 1739897153 Pages: 1 Publication Date: 23 March 2023 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Sheet map Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
