This engaging biography takes young readers through Charles’s journey from his early days at Cambridge University to his influential role as a preacher and leader in the Church of England and founder of the Christian Missionary Society. As a young man, he enjoyed the pleasures that life offered a well educated young man in the 1700s studying at Cambridge University.
