Book Excerpt: 
. . .Despatch him!” roared Jonathan.

Having no means of defence, Sir Rowland cleared the blood from his vision; and, turning to see whether there was any means of escape, he descried the open door behind him leading to the Well Hole, and instantly darted through it.

“As I could wish!” cried Jonathan. “Bring the light, Nab.”

The Jew snatched up the link, and followed him.

A struggle of the most terrific kind now ensued. The wounded man had descended the bridge, and dashed himself against the door beyond it; but, finding it impossible to force his way further, he turned to confront his assailants. Jonathan aimed a blow at him, which, if it had taken place, must have instantly terminated the strife; but, avoiding this, he sprang at the thief-taker, and grappled with him. Firmly built, as it was, the bridge creaked in such a manner with their contending efforts, that Abraham durst not venture beyond the doo. . . Read More

A melodramatic, but to my mind stirring and exciting book.
Harrison Ainsworth was once a best selling author, and his sensationalist writng was much despised by Victorian critics.
I really enjoyed this, even though the characters lack emotional depth by modern standards. The author changes some of the

Was it only last summer I was reading Rookwood?

Last summer when I was snuggled in sheepskin rugs in a large teepee, having feasted on cheese toasted on a fire and swigs of single-malt whisky. There I snuggled with the crazy, over-the-top story of curses and storms, highwaymen and gypsies, secret bro

So put me in chains
If you feel like,
Try to cause me pain,
If it feels right
You lock me away, and tell me to stay,
But I won’t behave

You wanted my skills
So we waited
I’ve put on a show
And I’ve made it
You call me a prig
Your ego is big
I don’t give a fig

Used this book as a way to keep my mind moving during breaks at work. The fairly short chapters and general constant action made it very entertaining for that purpose and despite the archaic language in spots a fairly quick read.

This is an embellished cautionary tale meant to sway impressionable chi
