Welcome to a bonus episode of Narrated Archives. Today, we look back to a stormy September night in 1838 to uncover the story of a young woman whose name would soon be carried on the wind across all of Victorian Britain: Grace Darling.

In his 1920 collection, A Treasury of Heroes and Heroines, Clayton Edwards presents the story of Grace Darling as a prime example of "quiet, unassuming bravery." Writing a century ago, Edwards focused on the contrast between her humble life and the sudden, overwhelming international fame that followed her heroic act.
