Florence Nightingale
In this book from the highly acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the incredible life of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. Growing up in an upper-class family, it was expected that Florence would find a husband and live a life of luxury – but that kind of life wasn’t for her. Her calling was caring for the sick and the poor, so she followed her passion with her whole heart and trained to be a nurse. When war broke out, Florence travelled to nurse wounded soldiers but found that the hospitals were so dirty that they were making people ill! This experience inspired her to lead a healthcare revolution, and she became the mother of modern nursing, introducing care practices still followed today. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the social reformer’s life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling biography series

Jag är journalist, och jag tyckte att jag stod inför en verklighet som jag inte kunde återge därför att jag inte längre fick något grepp om den. ... Jag beslöt mig för att ge mig av till en fransk stad som jag inte har några kopplingar till och söka jobb där anonymt. ... Jag hyrde ett möblerat rum. Jag behöll min identitet, mitt namn och mina papper, men jag anmälde mig som arbetslös med studentexamen som enda bagage. Jag hade beslutat att sätta stopp den dag då mitt experiment lyckades, det vill säga då jag erbjöds fast anställning. I den här boken berättar jag om vägen dit, en process på nästan sex månader, från februari till juli 2009.
