Dick Turpin: legends and lies

---

Dick Turpin was a famous highwayman, liar, thief, bully and murderer... or was he?

7th April 1739. York. Today is the day Dick Turpin will die. A young boy waits in the crowd below the scaffold. Waits for a glimpse of the famous highwayman. Waits to see him hang. In the crowd are five people - a villain, a victim, a fool, a traitor and an old man - who want to tell their stories. For some of them, the highwayman is a hero. For some of them, he is a monster.

Who is telling the truth? From the best-selling creator of the Horrible Histories.
