The Great Fire of London Unclassified

Book Synopsis

The Great Fire of London destroyed the homes of almost 90 per cent of London’s population. Could it have been prevented?

From the outbreak of the fire at a bakery on Pudding lane, to fire fighting techniques and meddling Lord Mayors, The Great Fire Unclassified takes readers on a journey back in time to uncover the true story behind London’s most destructive ever fire.

Real-life artefacts and documentation enable readers to build a true and real account of the Great Fire and how it shaped Britain today.

The Great Fire of London Unclassified is a popular choice for guided reading, especially for those looking for a text with a less ‘cartoony’ feel to it than most of the other non-fiction options for this topic.
