About the book

Samuel Pepys's Diary is one of the great eyewitness records of Restoration England. Written between 1660 and 1669, it combines intimate details of Pepys's private life with vivid accounts of politics, theatre, naval administration and major events including the Great Plague of London and the Great Fire of 1666. Candid, observant and often humorous, the diary brings seventeenth-century London to life with extraordinary immediacy.
