Adam Macqueen

Adam Macqueen, a young journalist and protegee of Ian Hislop, has worked for Private Eye, The Big Issue and many other major UK

publications.

He is also a regular broadcaster on TV and Radio.

THE KING OF SUNLIGHT is Adam’s first book, a hugely entertaining biography of the eccentric, late Victorian millionaire-businessman-philanthropist

Lord Leverhulme, founder of Lever Bros. Some of his ideas were decades ahead of their time - universal suffrage, workers’ profit shares - others

bordered on insanity. Leverhulme’s life is a genuinely startling story.
