A London country diary: mundane happenings from the secret streets of the capital

For fifteen years, Tim Bradford has meandered round the quiet streets of his North London home, seeking outthe ordinary and the extraordinary, the sublime and the ridiculous.

A London Country Diary documents his wanderings – he attempts to rescue a deer in Clissold Park, talks to a magical old man in Holloway, breaks up a fight in Stoke Newington and has issues with foxes in Highbury. And that’s just the beginning.All of life is in these pages.

Well, some. OK, just a little bit. But with its idiosyncratic wit and charming illustrations, this book is a timely reminder that you can find beauty, humour and life, wherever you call home.
