All About the Great Plague

This book is ideal for school project work or for those who want an “at-a-glance” overview of The Great Plague. Complete with descriptions of the key events of the plague, it explains how it started and spread, how it affected its victims, and how London life came to a virtual standstill during the outbreak. The timeline, glossary, and clearly-headed spreads make it easy to refer to essential dates, facts, and personalities. Maps, contemporary paintings, and pictures of artifacts all help bring the topic to life.
