Many people have written biographies of Charles Darwin, but the
story of his family and roots in Shrewsbury is little known. This
book, containing original research, fills that gap. The key player
is Charles' father, Dr Robert Darwin, a larger-than-life character
whose financial acumen enabled Charles to spend his whole life on
research unencumbered by money worries. Through Susannah, Charles'
mother, we are introduced to the Wedgwood family, whose history was
so closely interwoven with the Darwins. The stories of Charles'
five siblings are detailed, and there is a wealth of local
material, such as information on Shrewsbury School and its
illustrious headmaster, Samuel Butler. The book is fully
illustrated with contemporary and modern pictures, and will be of
interest to anyone wanting to discover more about the development
of Shrewsbury's most famous son.
