Although my eyes did occasionally gloss over, this was a mostly entertaining and informative account of daily life in London at the beginning of the 18th century. There are, it turns out, many similarities between then and now.

    Daniel Defoe REALLY hates poor people.

    A superb research tool which I constantly dip into for little known facts. Maureen Waller has an amazing feel for the period and it is my favourite reference book and I read it just for fun.
