Description

Everybody's Pepys. The Diary of Samuel Pepys 1660-1669. Abridged from the Complete Copyright Text and Edited by O. F. Morshead. With 60 Illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard. 'Pepys' Diary is one of the world's great books. For general interest few Diaries can compare with it, while as a record of nature at work in man it is unique. Yet, because it is a formidable-looking book of over a million words, the majority of people hesitate to tackle it. It is with the idea of enabling everyone. old and young, to enjoy the human comedy it contains, without being detained by the wider interests of the Diary as a whole, that 'Everybody's Pepys' has been prepared. It is not a book of unconnected selections, but a condensation which, as a result of repeated and careful pruning of the complete copyright text, brings the story, with its main side-lights, within the compass of a single volume.' From the fly-leaf of this book. The dust jacket has light general wear with some sun fade and foxing but the book remains tight and bright. Previous owners name or inscription on inside front page.
