Summary: Freedom fighter. International hero. Renowned President of South Africa. But even before he became a household name, Nelson Mandela lived a fascinating life. Find out why he didn't wear shoes until he was 16; why he was arrested for travelling on a tram and how he once shocked a court with a pair of ladies' underwear! This biography lets readers meet Nelson before he became famous--when he was growing up in the rural village of Qunu, surrounded by family--and follows him on his journey to becoming President of South Africa.
