“A delicately cut historical novel about the Bard’s greatest, boldest, maddest fans. . . oddly affecting and thoroughly entertaining.”—The Washington Post Book World“A delicious entertainment, faithful to its period, but done with the lightest of touches. . . Nobody knows this world better than Peter Ackroyd, and his latest foray into bygone London finds him at the top of his form.”—The Sunday Telegraph“Ingenious and mesmerizing. . . . A dazzling novel about false truths and real-seeming lies.”—The San Francisco Chronicle“Gothic and wry, with a sweet-and-sour mix of tragedy and comedy worthy of a Romantic-period Shakespeare forgery, The Lambs of London builds to . . . a moving crescendo.”—Newsday
