About this book

We live in the era of catchy headlines and click-bait online features, but we're not the first generation to enjoy news that is strange or lurid. As Rona Levin shows, oddity and intrigue have been a part of newspapers since their very earliest days. Collecting some of the most fascinating and bizarre stories from English newspapers from 1700 to 1900, Levin offers up gossip, true crime, scandal, and more.
