  Beautifully-illustrated and written, this lively, engaging book celebrates the lives of talented individuals who came to the UK and built a sparkling new life here.
  
  From Hans Holbein to Marie Tussaud, Mary Seacole to Mo Farah, find out the real stories of people recognizable to children and adults alike, and other quieter individuals, who have shaped our lives from business to food to medicine.
  
  Discover how:
  • Refugee Michael Marks founded Marks & Spencer
  • Banker Charles Yerkes built the London Underground
  • Scientist Ernst Chain developed life-saving penicillin
  • Activist Claudia Jones launched the Notting Hill Carnival
  
  Each individual is celebrated with an original illustration and a short biography. Many showed grit to make their mark on Britain after fleeing persecution or war abroad. All achieved their success through talent and hard work.
  
  100 Immigrants Who Made Britain Great is a stirring gift for any teenager curious about how modern Britain came into being.
  
  Many of them featured in arrived in Britain penniless, knowing little or no English. They achieved success through their hard work and ingenuity – and their legacies shape society. Without Michael Marks, we wouldn’t have Marks & Spencer. Without Stelios Haji-Ioannou, holidaymakers would not have jetted abroad on easyJet. Without Ludwig Guttmann, there would be no Paralympics.
  
  Without so many others featured in this book, the United Kingdom would be drastically different and immeasurably poorer.
  
  Each entry contains an original illustration and a profile of each individual and their incredible achievements.
  
  This book is an ideal accompaniment to Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, 100 Great Black Britons and Amazing Muslims Who Changed the World.
