Frostiana: or a history of the River Thames in a frozen state

by George Davis

Imagine a time when the River Thames froze over, and people could walk, skate, and even hold fairs on its surface. In Frostiana: or a history of the River Thames in a frozen state, George Davis tells the story of the many times that the River Thames has frozen over. He describes the events leading up to each freeze, the people who took advantage of the frozen river, and the aftermath of each thaw. Davis's book is a fascinating look at a natural phenomenon that has fascinated people for centuries. It is also a valuable historical document, as it provides a record of the many ways that the frozen Thames has shaped London's history.
