The history of medicine is the history of everybody - and every body - both past and present, and the evolution of medicine has been one full of experiments, trials and breakthroughs. Humankind's battle to stay alive has also been horrifying, bizarre and exhilarating, and there is still a long way to go.

So who was Hippocrates, how did rural doctor Edward Jenner from Gloucestershire make the breakthrough in mass vaccination, and how was the life-saving antibiotic penicillin invented by scientist Dr Alexander Fleming at a London hospital?
Uniquely presented through a series of posters, comic-strip retelling, timelines, newspaper articles and much more, Hudson's accessible and engaging facts and Taylor's extraordinarily offbeat and vintage-style illustrations are guaranteed to keep children gripped from first page to last.
