Description
Aimed at primary aged children, this book is colourful and full of information. The pages alternate between full page illustrations and short paragraphs jampacked with information, and equally lovingly illustrated. Told in the first person, we hear of Mary Seacole’s life, from her birth in Jamaica, her travels in Panama, her time in the Crimea, where she ran her business and tended to wounded soldiers, and, finally, her return to England.
This book is based on Mary Seacole’s autobiography Wonderful Adventures of Mrs Seacole in Many Lands which was first published in 1857.
