Winner of the 2007 Daily Mail Biographer's Club Prize

An unconventional biography of an unconventional woman.

In this award-winning book, Clare Mulley brings to life this brilliant, charismatic, and passionate woman, whose work took her between drawing rooms and war zones, defying convention and breaking the law.

Eglantyne Jebb not only helped save millions of lives, she also permanently changed the way the world treats children.
