Clay, Jeremy2013
Books, Manuscripts
From the archives of the British Library, journalist Jeremy Clay has dragged into the light long-lost stories that enthralled and appalled Victorian Britain. Divided into sections - from love and marriage through court, crime and punishment, animals, accidents and misfortune, inventions, sport, food and drink, the supernatural, and finally wagers and feats - and with each article reproduced in full, this book is also packed with sketches from the sensational Illustrated Police News.
