Superb Storytelling

Brilliant!

Hazel's view of London is filled with the twists and turns of London itself. Along with her guests, it's a cozy and easy walk-about the history, folklore, and magic that is so much a part of London. I've been to London from Boston many times, and still there is so much to see and know. Hazel makes one of my favorite places come even more alive. AND I love Hazel's accent - at least as a New Englander - I could listen all day!
