This book delves into various tales tied to significant locations and events in London, showcasing the city's rich history and cultural heritage. Hoskyn's work is intended to ignite a sense of appreciation and curiosity about London among its younger residents, making its topic particularly relevant to the children of that era. The content of "Stories of London" is structured into chapters that each narrate different facets of the city's history. It covers a range of topics, including ancient legends tied to the city's origins, the tales of notable landmarks like Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral, and the lives of historical figures such as Dick Whittington, whose ascent from poverty to Lord Mayor is recounted.
