The second talk in this series is to be given by one of the most interesting and knowledgeable students of ' Living in the Past'. Arthur Bryant is not only the author of a number of books on Charles II, Pepys, and their times, but he is a distinguished lecturer in history and has been responsible for pageants up and down the country, dealing with old English times.
Arthur Bryant made his name as a broadcaster for his brilliant series of talks on the National Character' in 1933. Today he is to persuade listeners to imagine themselves taking a journey to London from a little town somewhere in the North Midlands 250 years ago, and they will realise what an extraordinary adventure travelling was then.
