The Traveller - The Revolutionary Life of George Forster and his Search for Humanity by Andrea Wulf
www.stanfords.co.uk/the-travelle...
Children and adults alike will relate to the comforting experience of sharing a night journey that feels like home, wherever you come from.
At just 17, George Forster joined Captain Cook’s epic second voyage. Sailing from frozen Antarctica to tropical Tahiti, he didn't just map the world, he discovered a radical belief in our shared global humanity.
Next week!
Critics at The Guardian call him an explorer "far ahead of his time," while The Times praises this biography as a work of "uninterrupted fascination."
Pop into our Covent Garden shop or order online to get your hands on this ultimate adventure! 🧭📖
Forster fought early racism, challenged philosophers, and ended up swept into the French Revolution.
With breathtaking, vibrant illustrations and shortlisted for the 2026 Carnegie Medal, this book will certainly warm your hearts and tickle the family’s wanderlust!
