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.

This book is an ideal accompaniment to Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, 100 Great Black Britons and Amazing Muslims Who Changed the World.


The introduction is by Bonnie Greer, the Chicago-born playwright and cultural commentator.
