Wonderful Adventures of Mrs Seacole in Many Lands is a wonderfully
entertaining autobiography by Mary Seacole - nurse, entrepreneur
and intrepid traveller. Soon to be a major motion picture starring
GuGu Mbatha-Raw. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a
series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold
foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect
gifts or a treat for any book lover. Mary Seacole left her native
Jamaica to travel through the Caribbean, The Bahamas, Central
America and to England. Keen to offer her services to English
troops in the Crimea War, she was at first refused official
support. Undaunted she went anyway and set up her famous hotel
catering for British soldiers. She supplied food, drink and welcome
respite from the front line. She also tended to wounded soldiers
and dispensed medicine in the teeth of battle. Despite her
invaluable contribution, she returned to England penniless and in
ill health. Thankfully her astonishing achievements were
acknowledged and she became the toast of London society.
