More DescriptionA children's novel, which bears the author's dedication as follows: To the LITTLE CITIZENS OF LONDON this book is dedicated,
May they find a "Godmother" who will take them to all the places visited by Betty, so that, like her, they may discover they are really living in a "Magic City".
'Finally there was the London of her own day, the huge city of streets and factories and big modern buildings, among which there still lingered not only many rows of seventeenth-and eighteenth-century houses and many churches and other public buildings dating from the time when London rose from its ashes after the Great Fire, but also buildings far, far older than these. There was the Tower; there was Westminster Abbey; there was Westminster Hall. These had looked down for ages upon the city by the Thames, and watched it through its many changes from early times to the day in which Betty herself lived.'
