Pepys was a highly energetic man and closely involved in the strenuous and exciting times. This is an irresistible combination of public events and private passions, but above all this is a story of warmth and achievement, of affections and sadnesses, and of great things done by a man from no very special background who had to make his own way in the world. Here is a career of extraordinary richness and diversity, in PEPYS, Stephen Coote uses his skills as a historical biographer and accomplished story teller to reveal both the mind and the man, the life and the times with pace, detail, humour and wit.
