The Book of London

Excerpt from The Book of London: For Young People To begin with, the streets of London are not paved with gold, but I need not have said that, for nowadays the very youngest child knows it. It was Dick Whittington who first imagined anything so foolish, but then he was only a country lad, and in his days there were not the same opportunities for finding out the truth about things as there are now. There were very few books for one thing, and those there were cost a great deal of money, and would hardly be likely to come in Dick's way, so that if there was by chance a book which described London as it was then, it is not at all probable that he would have seen it.
