Untold numbers perished; great build-ings and ancient districts disappeared;
knowledge acquired and stored over centuries was lost forever. The Great Fire of London accomplished what the Spanish Armada and the plague had failed to do
it reduced the world's most majestic city to utter ruin.
The Great Fire of London recreates this cata-clysmic event through precisely-etched dramas drawn from firsthand accounts of those who lived through the all-consuming blaze. Like all great disasters, the great fire brought out the best, the worst, and the most heartbreaking aspects of humanity. You'll meet the king who rallied his subjects to battle the fire, the cart drivers who charged a lifetime's wages to haul a single load of goods to safety, and the elderly couple who continued to sweep their tidy,cottage, even as they were engulfed in flames. |
