The Death of Nelson

AUTHENTIC NARRATIVE OF THE DEATH OF LORD NELSON
Written by William Beatty and read in the familiar voice of 'Joe Grundy', aka Edward Kelsey, this is a fascinating eye witness account of the Battle of the Trafalgar

In December 1804,Beatty joined HMS VICTORY as one of its surgeons. His account of this most famous of all British sea battles, from his unique perspective of a ship’s surgeon, was an immediate success when it was published in 1807, and went into several editions. His subsequent medical career culminated in his appointment as Physician of Greenwich Hospital, and he was knighted by King William IV in 1831.

Edward Kelsey is amazingly versatile -he also voices Baron Greenback and Colonel K in Dangermouse!
