The dirt and filth of Scutari Hospital creates the perfect home for Vlad the flea and Loxton the rat. But the arrival of Florence Nightingale and her strange companion changes everything. Will the friends be driven out or can they save the day? The Vlad flea books are a series of historically accurate stories narrated by Vlad himself. In them he weaves a tale about the events he sees and in the process tells his young listeners about moments in history. These books include a fact file giving further details and clarifying what really happened all those years ago.
