About
The Enigmatic Mr PepysSpeaker: Major General (Ret’d) Michael O’Brien
Samuel Pepys was a keen observer of daily life in Restoration England. Rake, book collector, Fellow of the Royal Society and father of the Royal Navy, his legacy lasts to this day. Through his diary – first printed 200 years ago – millions of readers have relived the Restoration, the Fire of London, the Plague, and other important events of the period. Aside from historical events, Pepys’ diaries reveal life and manners, costume and song, court intrigues, food and drink and the tangible atmosphere of multi – layered London. Join Michael O’Brien as he explores this enigmatic polymath and book collector.
