The Life and Times of John George Children
John George Children was a famous entomologist of the early 19th century. In 1815, he travelled to the battlefield of Waterloo and purchased a tree under which Duke of Wellington had made his headquarters. He actually went and bought the entire tree and had it made into furniture by Thomas Chippendale. And there's a stick insect called children's stick insect, which is named after him? No. The third design will be something slow moving - tortoises or slugs.
