Spring-Heeled Jack was a popular urban legend that stalked the streets of London. This piece is a penny dreadful published around 1890 which depicts Jack as a diabolic figure who could leap to unnatural heights. #guildhalllibrary #pennydreadful

ALT This piece is a penny dreadful published around 1890 of Spring-Heeled Jack, a popular Victorian urban legend who stalked the streets of London.

Songs and nursery rhymes help build your child's ear for rhythm and music. So sing this old folk song/nursery rhyme while making a lovely pumpkin pie! @ShoeLaneLib @barbicanlib @guildhalllibrary @artizanlib #coltale #FIS #EYFS #speechandlanguage #speechandlanguagekids

How fascinating is this... A rarely-seen first edition from 1623 of some of Shakespeare's most famous plays goes on display in London today. If the "First Folio" hadn't been put together 400 years ago by two of Shakespeare's greatest friends, HALF his plays would likely have been lost forever. Including Macbeth, Twelfth Night, and The Tempest... can be seen at London's Guildhall Library until 3.30pm today and later this year for longer @GuildhallLib
