Doctor Zipp's Amazing Octo-com

More about the book

The London Evening Press and Star is a local newspaper holding its own in a time of fast-moving, celebrity-obsessed, click-bait global news. And the unnamed narrator of this book is one of its reporters, an old-school journalist dedicated to his community and his craft. But with every news item there is a bigger, more complex tale, and drawing on his notebooks he reveals the stories behind the stories, and the journeys he has taken to discover their hearts. If a city is its people and their stories, then this is London at its warm-hearted, eccentric best.
