“London – A History” is a large non-fiction history book by illustrator Laura Carlin. Featuring art on every page, Carlin explores London’s history (even before it was London) in short paragraphs with occasional quotes. Spanning the Pleistocene through the death of of Queen Elizabeth II in 22, this book would be a good gift for art enthusiasts who enjoy British history. The art is interesting and was inspired by a visit to the British Museum. In the back are notes on further history in London. This would be a fun coffee table book, but I think it fits more in an art section for adults than for children.
