The story of the extraordinary relationship between Francis Barber, a former slave, and Samuel Johnson, England's most distinguished man of letters"A remarkable work of detection, a biography of a black Briton from the eighteenth century that brings to life a rich and vital aspect of our shared history."-David Olusoga Born into slavery in Jamaica about 1742, Francis Barber was brought to London as a young boy, becoming a servant in the household of the renowned Dr. Samuel Johnson. He joined the British navy for a time but returned to Johnson's service, eventually becoming his friend and heir. Barber was one of thousands of black Britons in the period.
