Once remarking "I don't care for children...the little wretches", Eglantyne Jebb was perhaps an unlikely children's champion. Yet this extraordinary woman devoted her life to establishing the Save the Children movement and pioneering the cause of children's universal human rights, changing forever the way the world treats children.
Full of humour and tragedy, passion and pain, Eglantyne's story took her from illicit romance in Cambridge to espionage in Serbia, and from private spiritualism in Sussex to public arrest in Trafalgar Square. A testament to the difference that one woman can make, Clare Mulley's award-winning biography brings to life this humble revolutionary, whose courage and passion helped to save so many children, and whose all too brief life left such an enduring legacy.
