'Strong  beautiful and beguiling' OBSERVER   'Destined to become a future classic ... that rare
book that should appeal to every kind of reader' GUARDIAN   When two English brothers take the
helm of a Barbados sugar plantation  Washington Black - an eleven-year-old field slave - finds
himself selected as personal servant to one of them. The eccentric Christopher 'Titch' Wilde is
a naturalist  explorer  scientist  inventor and abolitionist  whose single-minded pursuit of
the perfect aerial machine mystifies all around him.  Titch's idealistic plans are soon
shattered and Washington finds himself in mortal danger. They escape together  but then Titch
disappears and Washington must make his way alone  following the promise of freedom further
than he ever dreamed possible.  Inspired by a true story  Washington Black is an extraordinary
tale of a world destroyed and made whole again.
