Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
'Court No 1 The Old Bailey' tells in great detail the story of 11 trials between 1907 and 2003. The author, Thomas Grant, is a practising QC so the ups and downs and why's and wherefores of prosecution and defence is all there. However what is different and very refreshing is that each trial is set firmly in the context of its times, so we are treated to a whole social history of the last century. And how remarkable that history is. You are constantly reminded that your predecessors were made of different cloth to us, and how different it was even one generation back. Thoroughly interesting.
