Description
Vlad and the Florence Nightingale Adventure is a full-colour illustrated picture book that tells the story of a flea and his rat friend living in Scutari Hospital in 1854. The arrival of Florence Nightingale and her team of nurses sets off a chain of events that transforms the grim conditions and gets rid of those who created the situation. Along with her pet tortoise, Jimmy, the nurses work to improve the hospital, and Vlad and Loxton find themselves up against the corrupt quartermaster. As the story unfolds, Vlad and his friends must navigate the challenges of the hospital and form unlikely alliances. The book features a fact file at the end to help readers understand what parts of the story are real and which have been fictionalised. The images are full of period detail, and the story includes cameo appearances by Mary Seacole and Alexis Soyer. This book is part of the Flea in history series, narrated by Vlad, and is suitable for readers who are interested in history and adventure. It is also part of the English National Curriculum and is used extensively in schools.
