Nelson by Richard Brassey
Despite being seasick, Nelson became England's greatest naval commander. He lost an arm and the sight in one eye, and his coat was covered in medals for his victories. When he died, his body was pickled in a barrel of brandy and he was hero-worshipped by a grateful nation. His life story, brilliantly told in words and pictures, comes out in time for the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar.
'Richard Brassey's features Nelson as strip-cartoon hero, telescope to blind eye; but beneath the humour there are plenty of facts' -- Katie Law EVENING STANDARD 227.05 'art, design and text combine effortlessly to provide an accessible and memorable introduction to these important people from history.' -- Nicola Morgan LOOK AT A BOOK - The Guardian 'Delightful' -- Amanda Craig THE TIMES
