Description

Dick Collins (in). This novel -- the original tale of Sweeney Todd, a classic of Brit. horror -- was first pub. in 1846-47. This was one of the earliest detective stories. After 157 years of obscurity, it appears here for the first time in book form. A distraught Johanna Oakley wanders the streets of London seeking news of her missing fiancé. She is befriended by Col. Jeffrey, who is searching for his lost friend Thornhill, last seen in Sweeney Todd’s barbershop. Todd’s apprentice, Tobias Ragg, is struggling to break free from his terrifying & sadistic master, while the barber himself is frantically trying to sell a string of pearls. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Jarvis Williams has landed himself a fine job -- making the most delicious pies in London, to Mrs. Lovett’s secret recipe.
