What began as a search for solitude came to reveal the story of a city, its people and their lost ways of life. 'Enchanting . . . I am quite tempted to join Maiklem on the riverbed looking for treasure' Sunday Times'No one has looked at these odd corners since Sherlock Holmes' Sunday Telegraph'A quirky and delightful read, wonderfully evocative of London's gloopy, ghost-haunted river' Daily Mail'Reveals to us the fascinating and poignant micro-world of London's history' Hallie Rubenhold, Baillie Gifford Prize-winning author of The Five
