"Take a walk through 100 years of British history with 20 compelling stories. Its not your usual mix of events and the author has skilfully selected pivotal moments that will appeal to a young audience. The sinking of the Titanic, Dr Barnado founding his first home and Scott's journey to the Antarctic are just some of the episodes that this talented storyteller brings to life." -- Junior Magazine
