LONGLISTED FOR THE 2017 ORWELL PRIZE 'Eye-opening, extraordinary insights into ordinary lives' Financial Times 'Superb' Literary Review The remarkable story of a unique series of studies that have touched the lives of almost everyone in Britain today In March 1946, scientists began to track thousands of children born in one cold week. No one imagined that this would become the longest-running study of human development in the world, growing to encompass five generations of children.
