There are countless versions of Pepys out there (testament to the enduring fascination of the man), but this is my favorite - not only has Morsehead chosen exquisitely from among the many volumes of Pepys, but illustrator Ernest Shepard's line drawings are memorably playful, as are his illustrations for 'Everybody's Johnson' and 'Everybody's Lamb' ( )
