Her speciality was the high jump, and her dream was to be chosen for the upcoming Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936.

So what were Gretel’s chances of making her dream a reality?

Thomas Crapper: Lavatory Legend

Robert Hume

illustrated by Cheryl Ives

Thomas Crapper’s life was an amazing journey. Although he came from a poor background, he managed to become

one of the most successful businessmen in the whole of the British Empire. It was due to his initiative and vision that

the flushing toilet became so widely used and accepted. He also invented the bathroom showroom. A brilliant and imaginative figure, Crapper became so famous that even the royal family employed him to install toilets in their palaces.

A legend indeed in his own lifetime.
