Course overview:
London is a marvellous and fantastical place, a place of dreams and nightmares, of slums and palaces, of parks and playgrounds. Its neighbourhoods can take you from one world to the next in a moment, from wealth to poverty, from a little bit of Italy to a little bit of India. Fantasy writers have taken advantage of this complex landscape. This course will introduce you to some of the best fantasy books set in London and to the writing techniques these authors have used. We’ll be exploring books set in London and London itself with four books, four walks and four opportunities to taste the food of London.
