Publisher's summary

This is an unconventional biography of an unconventional woman. Eglantyne Jebb moved from drawing rooms to war zones, often defying expectation and at times breaking the law. Although not fond of individual children, she founded Save the Children and originated the revolutionary concept of children's human rights. Clare Mulley brings to life the brilliant, charismatic, passionate, and compassionate woman, whose work has saved millions of lives and permanently changed the way the world treats children. Save the Children ambassador Joely Richardson narrates this extraordinary story.

Fascinating

Intriguing life story of the woman who founded the charity Save the Children, Eglantyne Jebb. Fascinating to hear about her (wealthy, eccentric, and indomitable) and the other members of her impressive family. Nicely read aloud.
