Ackroyd portrays London from the time of the druids to the beginning of the twenty-first century, noting magnificence in both epochs, but this is not a simple chronological record. It is a comprehensive account, animated by Ackroyd's concern for the close relationship between the present and the past as well as by what he describes as the peculiar "echoic" quality of London whereby its texture and history actively affect the lives and personalities of its citizens. London is perhaps the most important study of the city ever written, and confirms Ackroyd's status as what one critic has called "our age's greatest London imagination". Districts and Suburbs focuses on the nature and character of various inner city districts, and the growth of the suburbs to form the huge urban sprawl we know as twenty-first century London.©2000 Peter Ackroyd; (P)2004 Random House Audiobooks Europe Great Britain

I have the hardback and have read it many times. Parts of Ackroyd s book are used by other authors and I occasionally come upon sections in other references. I have read this work many times but recently tried Simon Callows narration and it adds to the wonderful biography. Excellent indeed.

Simon callow is perfect for this magnificent story
