Books
In 1999, in the depths of the British Library, historian and indigo expert, Jenny Balfour Paul, came across the five journal volumes of Victorian adventurer and fellow indigo-lover, Thomas Machell. Enchanted by the vivacity of Thomas's voice, and with a shared passion for indigo, Jenny found herself caught up in the adventurer's travels. She set out on her own voyage, tracing Machell's footsteps across oceans and continents for ten years, on a quest to discover and understand this extraordinary character.
