The Nine Lives of John Ogilby by Alan Ereira

The Nine Lives of John Ogilby by Alan Ereira

Discover the incredible life of John Ogilby, shipwreck and Great Fire of London survivor, royal conspirator, mapmaker, translator and soldier in the first ever biography of this forgotten British legend.

‘A spectacular book with a wide range of insights to the 17th Century’

* Terry Jones *

Ereira is justly proud… situates Britannia in its political context, connecting it to Charles II’s military purposes and need to crush rebellion'

* Guardian *

‘Compelling.. a terrific subject for a biography... Ereira’s enthusiasm is infectious [and his] generous biography conveys both the irrepressible energy and the shifty elusiveness of Ogilby.’

* TLS *

Britannia was created by a cunning Scot, to help the monarch’s absolute ascendancy over the whole of Britain. The secret is finally out.'

* Scotsman *
