Wrapped up in Books (or Everyday I Write the Book Too)

Continuing on with the theme as it appears,  I have a lot of book bench pictures...
William Shakespeare appropriately placed by the Globe Theatre.

"That's not my meerkat", a series of books by Fiona Watt


Samuel Pepys' Diary, part of the Greenwich Trail for book benches.


"The Railway Children" by E Nesbit


"The Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer

"Frozen in Time" by Captain Scott

Probably my favourite of the benches that I saw because of the incredible colour, "On the Origin of the Species" by Charles Darwin


"Mrs Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf

Batgirl getting all mysterious with Sherlock Holmes by Sir  Arthur Conan Doyle.

Loved the design of these benches and some of them were so creative it seemed a bit sacreligious  to sit on them and eat your lunch.

"The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" by CS Lewis. This bench had my two favourite characters Aslan and Mr. Tumnus.


"Nineteen Eighty-Four" by George Orwell. One of the more detailed benches,  my photos definitely do not do it justice.


"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. Not gonna lie, a little disappointed with the artwork for this bench.


James Bond stories by Ian Fleming. A standout, such a well thought out design and very eye-catching. 007 would approve.


"Hercule Poirot and the Greenshore Folly" by Agatha Christie.


I had such an enjoyable time going around the city and looking for this benches. And there will still a lot that I missed, Great Expectation, Bridget Jones's Diary, Around the World in Eighty Days, and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, just to name a few. I'm looking forward to the next collection of art sculptures going out this month and the theme is Paddington Bearsso I suspect at some point you will get the photo collection from that.
