Daniel is a slave, born in 1759 and exposed to the miseries of life on a plantation in America. Expelled by his master for killing another slave, he is brought to England where he eventually finds his way into the care of a respectable family. When he grows up he signs on for a journey on a slave ship, seeking to make his fortune but, sickened and disheartened, he meets Thomas Clarkson and joins his campaign with Wilberforce against slavery. A heart-rending expose of the evils of slavery 200 years after the Abolition Act was passed. A powerful new title from the author of 'Watership Down'.
