Stories of people who worked and lived on and by the Thames and its hidden tributaries flowing through London

Did you know that there are more than twenty-one rivers in London? Many of them have been forced underground by the development of the city but they all have their own history and their own stories to tell, from Roman times to the present day.

Anne and Sef have dredged these tales from the silt, bringing them to the surface for you to enjoy. Tales of mudlarks and refugees; a pirate queen and Vikings; a young boy running away from enslavement, and many more all flow through the pages of this collection. Seas and oceans have been crossed, dangers overcome, and these ancestors of ours come to life as they tell their stories once more.

ANNE JOHNSON has been a Londoner for fifty years. She is a professional storyteller and songwriter who is committed to bringing live storytelling and music into schools as the Director of Everyday Magic, which every year fires the imaginations of over 1,500 children at London schools. SEF TOWNSEND has been a Londoner for nearly forty years and has been telling traditional tales from around the world almost as long as that. He loves travelling and collecting stories from many countries but is always surprised to find some of the best stories right here in lovely old London.
