Books with title Brilliant Brits: Nelson by Richard Brassey

Despite being seasick, Nelson became England's greatest naval commander. He lost an arm and the sight in one eye, and his coat was covered in medals for his victories. When he died, his body was pickled in a barrel of brandy and he was hero-worshipped by a grateful nation. Richard Brassey's Brilliant Brits series covers famous English personalities, combining colorful drawings, lively captions, and interesting trivia to create a fascinating glimpse into the life of each figure covered.
