‘Paul Thurlby’s prints are so ludicrously beautiful that I am seriously tempted to blow the budget, order the whole lot and paper a wall with them.’ India Knight, journalist and author

Delivered with tremendous panache
Iconic and utterly stylish
Wonderful retro-style illustrations
This is a gorgeous creation. Reminiscent of the great Miroslav Sasek in colour and style, Thurlby has put a timeless spin on his divinely-rendered illustrations, in a book that showcases the inner workings of the great city of London
It is aimed at children, but we think a lot of adults just might enjoy L is for London
stylish....bold pictures of contemporary metropolitan icons
Each alphabetic choice is perfect ... Each page has little snippets of useful information too ... Invaluable for projects on London, this is accessible right down to KS1 pupils, who will really enjoy spotting the little fox on each page ... With a sophistication of imagery that will also appeal way beyond that; to Art and Design students in secondary for example
