The Great Fire of London: Rats, Disease, and Uncontrolled Fires Tormenting the English in 1666

Written by Kelly Mass

Narrated by Doug Greene

The Great Fire of London was a massive fire in the ominous year of 1666, which destroyed the homes of more than 80% of the city’s inhabitants, which was around 80,000 people back then. In this guide, we will go over how the fire most likely started, why it took such a toll on the London population, and why it kept growing without them being able to extinguish the flames in time.

You will also learn about how the city was built up, how other competing countries saw the fire as a good thing, and how Christopher Wren helped rebuild churches and houses when it was all over.

Last but not least, you will discover how something else was even more disturbing at this time: The Great Plague of London, a horrible scourge which is believed to have killed more than 100,000 people, struck with ills from rats and a lack of hygiene, around the same time.

Read about or listen to the horrors people in England were confronted with in the beginning of the 17th century.

Reviews for The Great Fire of London

[Charles Pate · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It's so good that my puppy gave it 5 stars as well. I enjoyed this particular subject matter, so I grabbed this book. This is the ultimate combination of a terrific storyteller and a fantastic writer, who teamed up and chose to turn this book into an useful product. Great for them.
