Who wants to fall asleep to tales of dragons being slain, wars being fought, and princesses being rescued who, quite frankly, could have rescued themselves?

Our boys need a new kind of hero. Rule-breakers and innovators who aren’t afraid to think outside and be themselves, whatever people think about how men should behave. Bedtime Stories for Boys Who Dare to Be Different is a collection of the lives of 200 incredible men from all over the world – from David Attenborough to Beethoven to Stormzy – who succeeded through brains, not brawn, and who will inspire young boys everywhere to follow their dreams.
