The Quare Family Boys Adventure Barry R Edwards

In 1666, The Great Fire of London raged from the 2nd of September and for a very long time. King Charles II joined with people trying to quell the fire filling the leather buckets with water. Samuel Pepys, Clerk of the Privy Seal wrote in his diary about the fire. Gunpowder was used to make a firebreak to ease the fire but nothing helped as the houses were made of wood. The Quare Family Saga is a story of the family when the fire began. The sons of Mr Quare were suddenly into a life of intrigue and a sense of awareness they had not ever felt or had such adventures before.
