Arrived today - thanks for the RABCK, Frank. I look forward to reading it. Good luck on your move.
Interesting account of daily life in London in the 1600s - the first half concerns life with the plague and war with the Dutch as a backdrop; the second half is a first person account of the fire of London. Pepys was intimately involved with the events of the fire and it is a terrible thing indeed (or as Pepys says ‘endeed’). It is also interesting in its ordinariness, whether the 21st century or the 17th, folks got up, went to work, came home, and ate dinner with their families. Nice to know some things don’t change.
RABCK - please enjoy!
Thanks for your patience - it took a few weeks between other commitments and trying to get through several books.
