Joanna Walsh, aka
BADAUDE, the itinerant blogger and artist of many things French has taken her pen for a walk in London and, hey! at the
Tate Modern.
The book is an alternative walking guide to London. "You travel through the city by atmosphere rather than by the souvenir shops," she says. "Although there are still a few pubs in there!" Buy it direct from the Tate Modern or in Paris at Shakespeare & Company. It's a steal at 8,99 Pounds or 10 Euros. Click to enlarge the photos.
From the book sale site:
London is best appreciated on foot. Packed with quirky observations and
out-of-the-way treasures, this unique, hand-drawn guide reveals the
charms of a city waiting for those ready to stop and look.
Badaude's
intricate and witty drawings not only capture the unique architecture
and atmosphere of London's streets, but also the way its inhabitants
talk, dress and behave. With twenty-one suggested walks, three bus
routes and one boat trip, London Walks! is the perfect companion for
every urban explorer.
Badaude writes and illustrates a weekly
column in the Times and her work appears regularly in the Guardian and
The Idler. She has exhibited at the Port Eliot Festival, Shakespeare and
Company and the Wellcome Collection.
