SECRET DIARIES OF CHARLES IGNATIUS SANCHO (PB)

In 1746, Georgian London is not a safe place for a young black man, especially one who has escaped slavery. After the twinkling lights in the Fleet Street coffee shops are blown out and the great houses have closed their doors for the night, Sancho is utterly alone and desperate. And yet this same Sancho will go on to tread the boards of London's theatres, become a highly acclaimed musician and composer, lead the fight to end slavery, meet the King and become the very first black person to vote in Britain.
