Description
Brewer’s A-Z of roguish Britons through the ages was assembled by a right old rogue, villain and eccentric himself, William Donaldson – a good friend of Sebastian Horsley and compiler of the Henry Root letters in the 1980s. Within these dissolute pages you will find every rogue that ever embezzled, murdered, swindled or consorted with prostitutes, such as The Rev Harold Davidson, Sir Nicholas Fairbairn, Eddie the Eagle, Sir Anthony Blunt, Ronnie Biggs, Major-General Orde Charles Wingate, Lady Emma Hamilton and Charles James Fox, among many others.
