Sinopsis:
"Little Ease" - a cell only four feet square and nine feet high, in which it was impossible to lie down. "The Duke of Exeter's Daughter" and "Skeffington's Gyves" - two of the many excruciating versions of the rack. This text offers an account of instruments of torture through the ages.
Acerca del autor: On leaving the RAF in 1974, Geoffrey Abbott became a member of the Body of Yeoman Warders and lived with his wife in HM Tower of London. He now lives in the Lake District, where he enjoys writing, visiting castles and being Mace Bearer to the Mayor of Kendal.
