Reviews

[Louise Culmer · Rating 5 out of 5]

There are many abridged versions of Pepys's Diary, this one is worth having for the enchanting illustrations by E.H. shephed - sixty delightful full pages.

I was only able to read 50 pages. Maybe the timing is wrong, with being home bound during this corona virus crisis. While reading Samuel Pepys daily entries on eating, drinking and visiting friends, I'm thinking, "Gosh, what a tedious life." Yes, I know it's a diary, but it reminds me that I'm doing less than he! It's possible that once 2020's plague is over, I can go back and read about the 1660 plague.
