About Vital Organs: A History of the World’s Most Famous Body Parts
Charity lecture with wine, mince pies and a raffle
From Napoleon's penis to Van Gogh's ear, from Marie Antoinette's teeth to Marie Curie's bone marrow, Suzie brings together the remarkable stories of body parts that have made history, including how Queen Victoria's armpit helped to develop antiseptics; why Percy Shelley's heart refused to burn; and the strange case of Hitler's testicle.
