By Permission of Heaven
Author: Adrian Tinniswood
A dynamic recounting of the horror that gripped London in 1666 after a small baker's fire erupted and spread, destroying 13,200 homes, 93 churches, St. Paul's Cathedral, and every administrative building in the capital. Looting, savage violence, panic, and chaos reigned, but what happened in the fire's wake was even more extraordinary.

A great compendium of how life was lived in the 17th century, and also of the Great London Fire of 1666. It reads like a newspaper in many ways and is really well researched. There are however some deficiencies in the writing style.
