About this book
The Children's Book of London is by G. E. Mitton, and its contents are grouped under the headings London as it is, Historical Stories and The Sights of London. The contents include chapters on children's hospitals, streets and shops, dogs and cats, Lady Jane Grey, the Gunpowder Plot, Charles I and the Great Plague and Fire.
The text says London is divided into three parts, the West End, where the rich people live, the City, where men go to work, and the East End, where the poor people live, and adds that it isn't quite so simple as that. The text describes Temple Bar, a great gateway that stood in the Strand, just where the City of London begins. The text imagines a lucky day on which workmen are found making gold sovereigns and pouring them out so fast that it is like the old fairy story of Rumpelstiltskin.
