Liza Pickard is a barrister with a mighty pen. She has authored several books about London. These Include: Life in Elizabethan London: Restoration London; Dr. Johnson's London and now this fourth book in the series. Picard has done her homework: her reading of first person diaries and sources; periodical articles from the age.
