'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.
