Who Was... Isambard Kingdom Brunel?: The Iron Man
Short Books (120 pages) 9781904977599
The publisher produces exactly what it says on the spine of the book, especially commissioned brief coverage with a particular emphasis on biographies. This example shows evidence of excellent research and is very well written too. The dramatic events of Brunel's life and extraordinary achievements amid the drive and the optimism of the Victorian Age are covered in a lively, rather than an incident-listing, style. A good book indeed, reading as a strong narrative but essentially non-fiction.
