Canterbury: A Pocket Miscellany

Did you know? The `Crab and Winkle' (Canterbury-Whitstable) line was the world's first scheduled passenger rail service, and the first railway to issue a season ticket. If you were to stay at Sudbury Tower at night, you may just find yourself being tucked in by the spectre of `Simon of Sudbury'. There is no evidence that Geoffrey Chaucer, author of Canterbury Tales, ever visited the city. A fascinating city dating from the first century AD when the Romans built a town, Canterbury is well known for its grand buildings, world-famous cathedral and possibly England's oldest school. Canterbury: A Pocket Miscellany explores the unseen side of this amazing city and will earn a place on any Canterbury-lover's bookshelf.
