It's 1666 and Vlad the flea and his friend Boxton the rat, love eating and biting their way around London. But one night in Pudding Lane they are caught up in a fire that threatens to destroy them, along with most of the City of London. Through Vlad's story and full colour illustrations it shows how the fire is believed to have started, how it spread and what Londoners did to fight it and escape it.
