This book covers all kinds of crimes, from murders to muggings, parental problems to pilfering, arson, assault, smugglers, counterfeiters, and even road rage (with a canal twist). However, it’s not all doom and gloom, as humor also plays a significant role in these stories. Have you ever wondered why a hungry man would steal something inedible? Follow the policeman on foot as he chases a thief on board a narrowboat. Discover what lies beneath the waters of the canal. Learn about canal etiquette, the hardships, the kindness, and the cruelty.
This book is written by an author who is fascinated by etymology and has written many books on the origins of place names. His interest in the historical modes of travel across our islands has led him to follow old routes and explore the stories found along them.
