The Illustrated Pepys

Pepy’s diary has long been recognized as the most remarkable diary in the English language. This edition – lavishly illustrated from a wealth of contemporary material (some of it from Pepys's own collection of engravings at Cambridge) – is meant for the reader who will welcome the chance of having a representative selection. With his unquenchable joy in life and his endless curiosity, Pepys is the perfect diarist for the general reader.
