Uniquely presented through a series of posters, comic-strip retellings, timelines, newspaper articles and much more, this strikingly illustrated book charts the history of medicine in engaging and unusual ways - guaranteed to keep children gripped.

With expert text written by pharmacy historian, Briony Hudson and stunning graphic artwork by Nick Taylor.
