A incredibly interesting tale of history. The year is 1776, and England is in the grip of a dreadful plague that stalks the land. It is smallpox, and being invisible and fatal, it took its toll of men, women and children. Dr Edward Jenner, a young country doctor who works within the agricultural community, had heard the folklore that milkmaids never caught smallpox, and so endeavors to discover the reason why.
