Description:
Benjamin Woolley's gripping story follows Nicholas Culpeper, a 17th-century pharmacist who challenged the powerful medical establishment to make healthcare accessible to everyone. Living through a period of British turmoil marked by famine and civil war, Culpeper participated in the revolution that led to the execution of King Charles I. However, he became renowned for his work in healthcare. Practicing herbalism (often outside the law) and publishing accessible guides to treating common illnesses, he broke the medical establishment's hold on the poor. His book, *The English Physician*, became the best-selling non-religious English book ever, remaining in print for over 350 years.
