About this Item
Book appears near sharp and virtually unread in a like dust jacket that is now protected in a Brodart. A review slip is laid in. A lovely copy of this volume of 'charming and chilling verses and ballads collected for the first time. Some of the crimes they commemorate are famous, but even the obscure ones are remarkable for psychological insight if not for literary merit. Culled from many sources, American, British and European, they deal with all the major categories of wrong-doing, but mainly murder. Includes detailed introductions and annotations to each verse, describing the background of the crime in question. It's really two books in one: an anthology of ribald, moralistic, sad, amusing and always entertaining verse; and a small encyclopedia of criminals and their crimes!' 224 pages includes index and illustrations throughout.
