Short Description: "John Evelyn FRS (31 October 1620 – 27 February 1706) was an English writer, gardener and diarist.

John Evelyn´s diary, or memoir, spanned the period of his adult life from 1640, when he was a student, to 1706, the year he died. He did not write daily at all times. The many volumes provide insight into life and events at a time before regular magazines or newspapers were published, making diaries of greater interest to modern historians than such works might have been at later periods. Evelyn´s work covers art, culture and politics, including the execution of Charles I, Oliver Cromwell´s rise and eventual natural death, the last Great Plague of London, and the Great Fire of London in 1666." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.10.2020)
