Samuel Pepys: Great Fire of London (2015, Penguin Books, Limited) 3 stars

Review of 'Great Fire of London' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A well-chosen extract, with a deeply personal insight into life in 17th-century London, and a gripping real-time account of a dramatic disaster. Quite a lot of extra stuff I don't care about (I don't know who all these people are) but it's amazing to think this was a person's actual diary, written day by day.
