| Summary |
As a young athlete, Sebastian Coe was too busy running to ever listen closely to family stories. The former Olympic champion sets out to discover if there is any truth in his grandmother's claims that the family's origins were once quite grand. To his surprise, it turns out granny was right, although perhaps not quite in the way she thought. Seb's journey begins in Cheshire with the account of a philanthropic and upstanding ancestor who worked for the benefit of his community. However, the story soon takes an unexpected turn as Seb follows the trail to Jamaica and discovers the dissolute world of 18th century plantation life.
