The original Newgate Calendars were published in the 18th and 19th centuries and chronicled infamous crimes and their punishment, usually by hanging, at London's Newgate Prison.
From these Calendars, the bestsellers of their time, the writer has distilled an account of the most colourful figures in the annals of crime. Here are the stories of Captain Kidd and Dick Turpin, the Fourth Earl Ferrers and the bigamous Duchess of Kingston, and of the 3 men who survived the Newgate rope.
Soft cover, fairly good condition. The book shows very minor signs of wear.
