About this ebook
This book is intended to amuse and interest you. You’ll meet many people from history and see how they might have behaved in situations you’re sure to know about. There are also murderers and victims – some real and some fictitious, barbaric punishment handed out by figures of authority, and kings and queens from the past who didn’t always behave as they should have. There are 20 different stories for you to choose from and each is as fascinating as the other. Was Bloody Mary really as blood-thirsty as remembered in history? Did Lizzie Borden really murder her parents by giving them forty whacks with a hatchet? Was Rabbie Burns as enamoured of the lassies as reputed to be? (I think you’ll find he was.) These are just a few examples to keep hold of your interest, but there’s much, much more between these book covers to keep you glued until the end of each story. As for the answers to the above questions, perhaps you’ll know those after you’ve read this book.

Joan B. Pritchard
I am a retired woman who has worked professionally in various executive positions. I have been very busy all my life, having to learn expertise in many different specialisations and also raising a family. It is only now, without my dear partner, that I have turned to the challenge of putting pen to paper and allowing my imagination and thoughts to wander free.
