Electricity explores how electric currents appear in nature, from static to lightning bolts, and how these natural marvels inspired scientists to conduct experiments and find ways to harness power. Few individuals today are able to grasp the entirety of a scientific subject and present it in a highly engaging manner, in plain English, without losing any of the details. By combining the items in this kit with common household objects, the Understanding Electricity book shows science enthusiasts how to do super-exciting experiments, simply and safely, at home.

Many subjects spark interest, such as animal magnetism, Mesmerism, electricity itself, dress-making, precious and semi-precious stones, English apples, séances, electroconvulsive therapy, infidelity and duplicity, all expertly woven into Charlotte’s tale.

It’s stirred so many memories of my own childhood, so connected to Housman’s ‘blue remembered hills.
