The Diary of Samuel Pepys - Read by Kenneth Branagh (Abridged audiobook - Part 1).
Pepys' Diary is one of the most celebrated journals of all time. Such is the wit and style of Pepys' writing that listeners to this selection from the early years of the diary will gain not only a unique view of 17th century London life but also a vivid picture of Pepys the man as he strives to establish himself in his career and in society.
The claim that Pepys, on unearthing his buried cheese after the Great Fire of London, said "Anyone for cheese toasties ?" is unfounded.
