Very well read. Quite an education in early crime and punishment and also the court system of early England. Some of the punishment is scarier than some of the rather brutal crime. A good listen when you only have 20-30 minutes or when doing some project and having this running in the background.

Interesting and well performed.

Notice, if you will, that these capital offenders were simply, "turned off."

fascinating chronicles of times past

This is a curiously compelling compendium of crimes and punishments. It’s a little hard going in places due to the anachronistic language but the reader is clear and well measured and does a great job with it. Nice to see northern English place name’s pronounced properly on LibriVox! Some of these tales feel like fillers to make up pages but many are fascinating insights into the times and some are most gruesome. It’s fascinating how “the bloody code” was instituted and how little one needed to do to be executed, and how barbarically women were treated - with special forms of punishment for them.
