About the author

John Evelyn

1620–1706

Best known for the vivid diary that opens a window onto Restoration England, this curious 17th-century writer ranged far beyond memoir into gardening, art, architecture, and the care of trees. His work feels both observant and surprisingly modern, mixing private reflection with a keen eye for public life.
