Klappentext
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.
