The Great Fire of London - Hardcover
Examines the background to the 1666 fire that devastated London, the events during the four days that it raged, the scope of the damage, proposals to rebuild the city, and the progress of the reconstruction program. The catastrophe created a boom for the construction trades and allowed Christopher Wren and other contemporary architects to rebuild or alter many of the monumental buildings that still characterize London. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
