Opis

An extraordinary tale of pre-Victorian England, telling the story of the determined young farm boy from Kent who saved Charles Dickens from becoming a factory worker, operated the notorious chess-playing mechanical Turk, took on the London underworld, played a crucial role in the invention of the steam engine and organized one of the most successful rebellions in British history. A roller-coaster ride through the beginnings of the modern era.
