The dirt and filth of Scutari Hospital is the perfect home for a Vlad the flea and Loxton the rat. But the arrival of Florence Nightingale and her strange companion changes everything. Will the friends be driven out or can they save the day? This book tells the story of Florence Nightingale, the conditions in which she found herself and the impact she had from a very interesting point of view. Alexis Soyer, one of the first celebrity chefs, puts in an appearance as does Mary Seacole, and we even get to meet Jimmy the tortoise. Vlad, and his host rat Loxton, are not at all sure about the new regime that Florence brings to the hospital they call home. -

Meet 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. -
