Subject: Recommended for people interested in the period, and in true crime stories.

This is an excellent little booklet. A 19th Century newspaper magnate grabbed a man who had just come out of prison and said “Wander around the seedy part of town. Tell us what you see. Shock the middle class.” Well, I imagine that’s what he said. It’s a brilliant little slice of social history in the Mayhew mould.
