British Museum |
Loretta reports:
Every year near the holidays, I either re-read A Christmas Carol or one of Dickens’s novels, because the London of my imagination is his, mainly, as is my sense of a 19th century Christmas.
But recently I came upon this interesting quotation from Henry James’s Essays in London and Elsewhere. His love of London comes through in evocative images of the British Museum as he paints a picture of London in winter.
