India, Feb. 24 -- London never ceases to surprise. No matter how often I return, the city has a way of revealing something new - sometimes loudly, making a statement, and sometimes quietly, like an overlooked footnote. On my most recent visit, that discovery, by happenstance, was in the most unexpected place: Westminster Abbey.

One of the most visited historic sites in the city, Westminster Abbey lures people in droves, most of them gravitating towards the nave, the Gothic stonework, and the famed Coronation Chair. On a recent visit though, I found myself wandering down a side aisle. And then, just past the marble effigies of kings and statesmen in the south transept, I landed upon a quiet literary landmark. Poets' Corner.

For book love...
