Summary

Save the Children¿s original founder was a remarkable spinster in a brown cardigan whose most famous line, 'I don¿t care for children¿ makes hers a most unconventional story. Clare Mulley¿s sensitive, entertaining, and beautifully written biography reveals a life full of humour and tragedy, passion and pain, and casts an enlightening insight into the development of the charity we know today.
