Descrição do Produto

Discover the most daring escapes of all time!

From slaves fleeing captivity to wartime heroes and heroines being smuggled across occupied
Europe, from dangerous criminals tricking their way out of jail to ordinary people who got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time . . .

Over thirty tales of adventure, inspiration and derring do. As well as famous stories like the Great Escape and Harriet Tubman''s epic 500-mile trek to freedom, this fascinating book includes lesser-known escapes like Yoshie Shiratori, a Japanese fisherman who escaped jail four times, Nadia Murad, who was inspired by her escape to win the Nobel Peace Prize and Henry ''Box'' Brown, a slave who posted himself to freedom in a wooden crate.

Stunningly illustrated in full-colour by comic-book artist, Jamie Coe.
