Description
Dandy Dick, or The King’s Highway
A Spring-Heeled Jack Story
By Ned Neolan and Ben Brightly
“The actual individuality of Spring-Heeled Jack is a thing no man can guess at. Many insist he is not mortal, and there are those who believe him to be Satan himself!”
Published in The Halfpenny Marvel in 1900 and 1901, Dandy Dick is an aristocrat, accused of a crime which he did not commit. He is forced to live as an outlaw, a gallant knight of the road. He and his band of outlaws are sought by the notorious but corrupt thief-taker, Jonathan Wild.
With the aid of a band of loyal companions, including Colonel Blood and Dick Turpin, Dick attempts to protect the outlaws’ secret hideaway at Finchley while attempting to elude the law in the form of Office Bilberry who will stop at nothing at claiming the reward for Dandy Dick’s arrest, provided it does not require him to leave his seat in the bar.
But as Dick faces life-threatening dangers from Bow Street runners and the savage Mohawk gangs, Dick receives assistance from some mysterious allies including a friendless boy known as Will the Witless, Fangs the rat catcher, and Spring-Heeled Jack.
Collected as a single volume for the first time, the publication of this serial novel also features a new introduction by J.S Mackley.
