About this Item
Softcover. No. 3 in the Mellifont Tower Series. 'There is no doubt that Charles Peace impressed himself on the popular mind more than any freebooter since the days of Dick Turpin and Jack Sheppard. Many a notorious criminal has preyed upon Society since that bleak morning when the little man expiated his crimes on the scaffold in Armley gaol; but there are still old men up and down the country who remember Peace, not as a burglar and a murderer but as a romantic freebooter at war with the world. And, after all, a man who could carve, who could draw, who could invent a patent guitar, to say nothing of that great life-saving device, the fireman's smoke-helmet, who could do a hundred and one things that marked him out as the possessor of an intellect much above the average can hardly be classed as a common burglar.' 128pp. p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Browned pp. o/w Vg+. Seller Inventory # 12440
