“Christopher Columbus did not ‘discover’ America.” “Artichoke juice couldn’t save Charles 1 from losing his head.” “There were chapatis in the trenches.”

Award-winning History Teacher, Shalina Patel, takes us back through time, from the Romans to the Second World War via Britain’s colonial past, shining light on the stories left in the shadows. In this compelling collection, Shalina unearths the hidden lives, fierce resilience and quiet brilliance of those who shaped history in ways historians forgot – often women and people of colour.

Curious minds and history lovers alike – you will be nourished beyond measure. Indulge in every word.
