Chock full of history and written in the dialogue of the criminal classes, this story of the Great Train Robbery of 1855 is much more than just that story. The characters are odd and amusing and their shady strategies make you laugh at their dull victims. To read this book is to be a spectator at a Victorian low-life carnival with a great seat.
