''Just so brilliant''

''Wildly entertaining. A rollicking saga about one of America''s earliest abolitionists''
People

Henry Shackleford is a young slave living in the Kansas Territory in 1856.

When an argument between Henry''s master and legendary abolitionist John Brown turns violent, Henry is forced to leave town - along with Brown, who believes Henry to be a girl and his good luck charm.

An absorbing mixture of history and imagination, The Good Lord Bird is both a rousing adventure story and a moving exploration of identity and survival.
