Today he is principally recognised as a diarist, an authority on woods and gardens and as a connoisseur of music, art and architecture. Evelyn was a friend of Pepys, Boyle and Wren, patron of Grinling Gibbons, and Secretary to the Royal Society. This book, the first biography of John Evelyn, is based on both his 'Diaries' and a full account of his lesser-known writings.
