Description

A short, engaging biography of the brilliant Victorian engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel written for 9-12 year olds, but to be enjoyed by adults too. From tunnels and railways to bridges and ships, Isambard Kingdom Brunel would stop at nothing to realise his amazing engineering ideas.

Born at the beginning of the nineteenth century, Brunel had a brilliant brain for design, and never tired of building new and exciting things - the deepest tunnel, the longest bridge, the fastest train.

For Brunel, the average and the ordinary were just not good enough.

A perfectionist and a control freak, he would stop at nothing to complete a project, even when it meant taking hair-raising risks... From Short Books' The Great Victorians series - entertaining and engaging biographies for 9-12 year olds featuring curriculum figures from Key Stage 2.
