'Entertaining Mr Pepys is a remarkably beguiling read. It transported me to the glitter and filth of seventeenth century London and the company of sparkling characters half-familiar from the famous diaries. I felt Bird's bewitchment by the theatre, recognised Pepys' charm and slipperiness, and by the end, had brushed more than a few tears away. Deborah Swift has a rare talent for storytelling' -- Martine Bailey, author of The Almanack 'The fusion of historical facts and fiction is so flawless that it is hard to know where reality ends and fiction begins' -- Readers Favourite Review
