Gentlemen in blue : the story of George Ransley and the Aldington gang

Watts, Lyn2018
Books
The Aldington Gang were a famous gang of smugglers operating in Kent during the early 19th century. This is the story of their final leader, George Ransley, and the main members of the gang. It is told partly in novel form - weaving a love story into the historical facts. Lyn is an immensely readable author and has spent untold hours making sure that her research is accurate and her story reflects the times the gang lived through. This is unlike any other book on the gang - and there are few enough of them. It also presents a biopic of all of the main characters following their eventual transportation to Tasmania in 1827. This is a fascinating and easy to read book and guaranteed to please.
