When the 'Origins of Species' was published on 24 November 1859, its author, Charles Darwin, was near the end of a nine-week stay in the remote Yorkshire village of Ilkley. He had come for the 'water cure' - a regime of cold baths and wet sheets - and for relaxation. This title focuses on the dramas of body and mind that marked Darwin's visit.
