The botanist who became a pioneering photographer, one of the first black footballers after the Second World War who became a well-known comedian, the creators of the London tube map and the Pimm's cocktail, the inventors of Plasticine, the catseye road stud and the telephone, the engineer who solved the stalling problem on the Spitfire, the founders of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and Lord's cricket ground as well as the author and illustrator of the Mr Men and Little Miss books are just a few of the fascinating life stories presented in this book.
