October in the UK is Black History Month, so the next few episodes are going to be about black British icons who have changed history! This week's story is about a fascinating person called Mary Seacole who was around in the Victorian era. I hope you enjoy finding out about her. My book of the week is 'Julian at the Wedding', by Jessica Love. It came out this week and I am so excited to share it with you!
