My Story: Ignatius Sancho is the extraordinary true story of a
young boy's life: a slave, a servant, a business owner, a
campaigner, a composer, a writer. Greenwich 1738, and
eight-year-old Ignatius lives with three sisters. Not as a member
of their family, but more or less a pet - a toy. He serves them
breakfast, lunch and dinner, fetches and carries, does their
bidding and all without thanks or a smile. He lives with the
constant possibility of being sent away to a sugar plantation - to
endure back-breaking work away from everything and everyone he has
ever known. When the threat of being sent back to the West Indies
to be enslaved on a plantation becomes suddenly all too real,
Ignatius must escape and start to build a real and brilliant life
for himself. an inspirational story based on real life perfect for
anyone wanting to understand more about Britain's role in the
transatlantic slave trade an empowering and important read. "I have
to sit down. I need to wipe my eyes. Imagine, me, the little boy
who slaved for the sisters and had to fight so hard to be able to
read and write, has become the first black man to have a say in who
governs England." Experience history first-hand with My Story.
