Penny Dreadful Classics - Black Bess; Or, The Knight of the Road - Volume One: A Tale of the Good Old Times

Whilst looking for books on highwaymen I came across this volume of Penny Dreadful serials, (popular illustrated serial fiction of its time). What a find. Set in 18th century England this is the first of ten volumes covering the daring escapades of four well known highwaymen. Be swept away by the romanticised adventures of Dick Turpin and Tom King where they encounter dangerous smugglers and dashing dragoons.

Bought for my son and he's very happy with it
