P. Morshead. 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. 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, ?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 sidelights, within the compass of a single volume.* A NEAR FINE text copy of the 1st/5th with some minor faults in a GD++ protected dust jacket.* 0
