Every purchase helps someone affected by leprosy
An unconventional, witty look at history through the eyes of eighteen notable figures aged eighteen. From Chaucer to Elizabeth the 1st, from Nelson to Vivienne Westwood and from C.S. Lewis to Richard Burton this is a fascinating, engaging walk through history.
At eighteen, your life is full of what-ifs and why-nots. You have everything to look forward to – unless you've got the plague ...
What happens if the First World War breaks out while you're at university?
What turns a rugby-obsessed teenager from a Welsh mining town into Richard Burton?

Change Lives With Your Shopping
Your purchase can help to end leprosy. Shopping with us will help fund leprosy research which is vital to ending leprosy transmission by 2035. Recent developments in genotyping strains of leprosy have improved accuracy of finding the source of transmission, meaning tracking and tracing of cases can be much more effective. There is also a PCR test for leprosy being developed which would be a game changer in faster and more accurate diagnosis of leprosy.
