This is not a story of how to throw a pot or recognise a fossil, but it is the story of three generations of a united family - an inside look at their joys and sorrows, their courage and adventure, their humour and generosity, their beliefs and doubts. Above all it is about living. From Josiah Wedgwood I and Dr Erasmus Darwin in the Midlands during the mid-1700s, to Cambridge in the twentieth century with Helen and her marriage to Michael Pease, 'The Wedgwood/Darwin Dynasty' weaves a fascinating web. In 1894 Josiah Wedgwood married his first cousin Ethel Kate Bowen. They had six children. This story tells of their marriage and, as it unfolds, their eldest daughter Helen becomes the central character within the family.
