Inspired to read this by a visit to the Wedgwood Museum, I was not as engrossed as I hoped I would be. As a novelist is allowed, the author introduced invented characters alongside those that were real but he also altered dates and rearranged historical events with which I was less comfortable. However, it provides a fascinating insight into the Wedgwood family, Josiah's interest in science, radical ideas and his search for the perfect pot.
