About This Book

A child-friendly guide that walks readers through Westminster Abbey, combining accessible history of the site's origins and architectural development with lively anecdotes adapted from a beloved dean's tours. It traces the abbey's growth from a marshy isle to successive royal building campaigns, describes key chapels, shrines, monuments, and tombs, and explains the church's layout to help visitors recognize notable memorials. Interspersed are short biographical tales and descriptive sketches intended to engage young readers and prepare them for an actual visit.
