Dr. Johnson’s London - Liza Picard

Dr. Johnson\'s London : Coffee-Houses and Climbing Boys, Medicine, Toothpaste and Gin, Poverty and Press-Gangs, Freakshows and Female EducationMy only complaint about Dr. Johnson’s London is that there isn’t more of it. Entertaining and informative, Picard brings the era to life. A definite recommend. That she is not particularly enamored of Johnson–or Boswell, for that matter–serves only to entertain even more.
