Marvellously readable
*Daily Mail*
The story of London's great fire is one of the set-pieces of
English history. But the strength of Adrian Tinniswood's measured
narrative lies in the fresh emphasis he places on its fallout
*Sunday Times*
This book is more than just a gripping account of the great
fire...with immense skill, Adrian Tinniswood uncovers the
cross-currents of special interests that the disaster brought into
play, many of which lend the story an almost contemporary feel
*Daily Mail*
Admirably researched and highly evocative
*Spectator*
Even Pepys is too near and involved an observer to convey the full
magnitude of the catastrophe. For that we need an historian, and
Adrian Tinniswood's new account of the Great Fire rises
impressively to the challenge
