Witty and engaging YouTube historian J Draper digs out unusual stories of individuals who have shaped the world, uncovering the lessons their unique experiences can teach us. This book, moving away from history told through kings and queens, sheds light on 24 fascinating little-known underdogs, mavericks, and trailblazers. You'll meet characters like Sabrina Sidney, an orphan involved in a bizarre education experiment; La Chevaliere d'Eon, the French spy who was legally recognized as a woman in the 18th century; and James Chuma and David Susi, who walked across Africa with a dead body. These poignant and often humorous true stories show that the world was shaped by a much broader range of historical figures than we learned about in textbooks. J Draper's book "Mavericks: Life Stories and Lessons of History's Most Extraordinary Misfits" will be available for purchase on the night.
