Join Victoria Princewill, author of The Diary of Sarah Forbes Bonetta: A Novel, to find out more about the extraordinary life of orphaned African princess, Sarah Forbes Bonetta. Sarah was the intelligent, multilingual Yoruba princess from West Africa who became the ward and often described as the “goddaughter” of the British Queen Victoria. Find out about how Victoria became an author and how she reimagines Sarah’s life in England, in her latest book, telling the story of a girl living between two cultures, trying to create, and assert, her own identity. 

Please note that this event is a re-run of a previously broadcast Scholastic Schools Live event.
