It is June, 1697. In a dusty and cluttered room somewhere in Oxford, Mr John Aubrey - gentleman, philosopher, educator, academic, antiquarian, folklorist and biographer - is ready to share the stories he has collected over his long and colourful life. Aubrey has lived through the Civil Wars - one of the most fascinating and turbulent times in English history - and spent much his life mingling with the great and good of society. His affection and fascination for the foibles and frailties of people has led him to record their stories for posterity in his Brief Lives: stories of scandal and misadventure, medical marvels, infidelity, turbulence and magic - featuring King Charles I, Raleigh, Shakespeare, Thomas Hobbes, and many others whose names have become part of our history.
