A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Thomas Peckett Prest (AKA Thomas Preskett Prest) (probable dates 1810-1859) was a British hack writer, journalist and musician. He was a prolific producer of penny dreadfuls. He is now remembered as the creator of the fictional Sweeney Todd, the 'demon barber' immortalized in his The String of Pearls: A Romance. He has also been associated with the authorship of Varney the Vampire, now more often thought to be the work of J. M. Rymer. He wrote under pseudonyms including Bos, a takeoff of Charles Dickens' own pen name, Boz. Before joining Edward Lloyd's publishing factory, Prest had made a name for himself as a talented musician and composer.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This mammoth, 810-page book was originally published in "penny dreadful" form. This edition does not include the entire 109 episodes, which were published in three lengthy volumes. Instead, this slightly condensed volume conveys the full story and complete reading experience. Note that authorship has also been ascribed to James Malcolm Rymer.
