A Grim Almanac of Cambridgeshire

"A Grim Almanac of Cambridgeshire" is a day-by-day catalogue of 365 ghastly tales from around the county dating from the 12th to the 20th centuries. Full of dreadful deeds, macabre deaths, strange occurrences, and heinous homicides, this almanac explores the darker side of the county's past. This compilation contains such diverse tales of highwaymen, smugglers, murderers, bodysnatchers, duellists, poachers, witches, rioters, and rebels, as well as accounts of old lock-ups, prisons, bridewells, and punishments. All these, plus tales of murder; suicide; accidents by land, sea, and air; and much more; are here. If you have ever wondered about what nasty goings-on occurred in the Cambridgeshire of yesteryear, then look no further--it's all here. But do you have the stomach for it?
