Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. An insightful and gripping account that will take you into the dark but fascinating world of a Victorian executioner. Stewart P. Evans Between 1884 and 1905 James Billington and his three sons, Thomas, William and John, were responsible for 235 executions in Victorian Great Britain and Ireland. They hanged many notorious murderers, but equally fascinating is the story of the family. Did James really feel he served society and justice, or did this position satisfy something more personal? Billington: Victorian Executioner provides a complete account of the stories behind James Billingtons executions, as well as the real man behind the rope a man whose business was death. This enthralling biography is an exciting addition to any true crime bookshelf. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Product Description James Billington, formerly a pub entertainer and then a barber, had been single-minded in his determination to secure the post of executioner for London and the Home Counties. But did he really feel he was primarily a benefit to society and justice, or were his reasons for wanting the position more personal? Three of his sons, Thomas, William and John, followed in his footsteps and together the family were responsible for 235 executions in Great Britain between 1884 and 1905. "Billington: Victorian Executioner" provides a complete account of the stories behind James Billington's 151 executions, as well as introducing the reader to the real man behind the rope. This fascinating biography is an exciting addition to any true crime bookshelf. Signed by Author(s).
