This title is printed to order. This book may have been self-published. If so, we cannot guarantee the quality of the content. In the main most books will have gone through the editing process however some may not. We therefore suggest that you be aware of this before ordering this book. If in doubt check either the author or publisher’s details as we are unable to accept any returns unless they are faulty. Please contact us if you have any questions.

This book is intended to amuse and interest you. You’ll meet many people from history and see how they might have behaved in situations you’re sure to know about. There are also murderers and victims - some real and some fictitious, barbaric punishment handed out by figures of authority, and kings and queens from the past who didn’t always behave as they should have. There are 20 different stories for you to choose from and each is as fascinating as the other. Was Bloody Mary really as blood-thirsty as remembered in history? Did Lizzie Borden really murder her parents by giving them forty whacks with a hatchet? Was Rabbie Burns as enamoured of the lassies as reputed to be? (I think you’ll find he was.) These are just a few examples to keep hold of your interest, but there’s much, much more between these book covers to keep you glued until the end of each story. As for the answers to the above questions, perhaps you’ll know those after you’ve read this book.
