Diagnosed with a form of motor neurone disease when he was a young man, Stephen was inspired to achieve his goals as fast as possible. Through incredible determination and skill, he became a legendary scientist, a best–selling author, and the man that changed the way we think about the universe. Stephen Hawking is part of the small format, collectible Little Guides to Great Lives series for children aged 7 and above.
