Roy Dotrice as John Aubrey Compiled by PATRICK GARLAND
John Aubrey , who was born in March 1626, is now acknowledged as one of the foremost memoirists of his day. Although little has been known of him outside specialist literary circles until comparatively recently, Roy Dotrice 's virtuoso performance of his work has established him as a fascinating, witty, bawdy commentator on the events and, more particularly, the leading personalities of his time.
