London’s Books About Town

book bench

Comic book and kid lit author Neil Gaiman’s first novel Neverwhere, illustrated by Chris Riddell, became the final entry in Books About Town, book-themed benches that have been placed in locations around London, England since July 2014.

Books About Town, which was organized by the National Literacy Trust for its summer 2014 campaign to raise awareness of London as a reading city, was created by Wild in Art and funded by local businesses, trade organizations, and the original publishers of the titles. It was made up of 51 decorated benches carefully placed across London.
