The Woman Who Saved the Children: A Biography of Eglantyne Jebb: Founder of Save the Children

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.
