Winner of the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography, Mark Bostridge’s Florence Nightingale is a masterful and enjoyable biography of one of Britain’s most iconic heroines. Whether honoured and admired or criticized and ridiculed, Florence Nightingale has invariably been misrepresented and misunderstood. As the Lady with the Lamp, ministering to the wounded and dying of the Crimean War, she offers an enduring image of sentimental appeal and one that is permanently lodged in our national consciousness. But the awesome scale of her achievements over the course of her 90 years is infinitely more troubling – and inspiring – than this mythical simplification. -

The dirt and filth of Scutari Hospital is the perfect home for a Vlad the flea and Loxton the rat. But the arrival of Florence Nightingale and her strange companion changes everything. Will the friends be driven out or can they save the day? This book tells the story of Florence Nightingale, the conditions in which she found herself and the impact she had from a very interesting point of view. Alexis Soyer, one of the first celebrity chefs, puts in an appearance as does Mary Seacole, and we even get to meet Jimmy the tortoise. Vlad, and his host rat Loxton, are not at all sure about the new regime that Florence brings to the hospital they call home. -
In this classic historical text on hospitals - featuring a foreword by the Florence Nightingale Museum - Nightingale reveals her passion for good hospital architecture and design.

Nightingale openly criticised designs which she thought might lead to higher infection rates, and therefore patients' deaths. Published in conjunction with the Florence Nightingale Museum, the cover of this edition is exclusive to the museum. -
