Edward Rutherfurd presents the sweeping saga of one of the greatest cities on earth. This saga follows the River Thames as it flows through the heart of London - from the days of the Romans, through sixteen centuries to the Victorian engineers who gave London its world-famous Tower Bridge, all the way to the dockland development today. Through the compelling lives and adventures of memorable charcters - Julius, the small-time Roman coin forger, risking his life to find buried treasure; Dame Barnikel, who runs the tavern where Chauser and his pilgrims carouse; Geoffrey Ducket, the founder of a dynasty whose members one day become peers of England, Edmund Meredith and the actors in Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and little Lucy, living by Dickens' muddy Thames - we watch London grow from its first beginnings, hear the echoes in its stones and become part of the wonderful pageant that flows on still today.
