Amazing Stories of Female Executions
In these grisly tales from the gallows, guillotine and gas chamber the
fairer sex get it in the neck. You have been warned. From the Yorkshire
Witch, who was accused of murder when a potion for good health turned out to
be fatal, to the woman who survived the gallows and took her empty coffin
away with her, Amazing True Stories of Female Executions is
brimming with macabre true stories of executed women from around the world.
Interspersed with quirky last requests, and with black and white
illustrations throughout, this is history at its most morbidly fascinating.
