The streets and public spaces of London are rich with statues and monuments commemorating the citys great figures and events ndash; from Nelsons Column in Trafalgar Square and Sir Christopher Wrens Great Fire Monument to the charming Peter Pan statue in Kensington Gardens; the range is glorious. Some commemorate events; while others celebrate people real or fictional; some take the form of small reliefs; while others are huge bronzes on pedestals; larger than life-size. Executed in stone; bronze and a range of other materials; Londons statues and monuments include work by some of the worlds greatest sculptors; and this book is a fully illustrated guide to the pieces and their stories: sometimes surprising and occasionally controversial; but always fascinating.
