Philippa Bernard Livres

Tells the story of how the poet Kathleen Raine has developed from a small girl, who knew at the age of eight that she wanted only to write poetry, into a world-renowned poet and literary scholar.

When the Romans settled in Britain in 43CE they could hardly have imagined that the small agricultural settlement of Londinium would become one of the biggest cities in the world. This book charts the progress of 2000yrs of worship in London, from small buildings like the Mithraeum to cathedrals, synagogues, churches, mosques + temples seen today.

In 1972 Leo and Philippa Bernard bought Chelsea Rare Books, a small antiquarian bookshop in the King's Road, Chelsea.
