From the British series of children's books that introduce unsavory history such as Salem witches and Irish famine ships, this title focuses on the grave robbers of Edinburgh who supplied corpses to surgeons for the purpose of teaching anatomy before dissection was legal. Much of the book covers the infamous Burke and Hare case. The illustrations are what I'd call cartoonishly scary and perfect for the darkly humorous text, which includes such questionable information as, "Some people say that you are unlikely to catch nasty diseases from people who handle dead bodies, but do you really want to take the chance?" and an illustrated step-by-step explanation as to how Burke and Hare were able to kill their victims without leaving marks on the bodies comes with a preface that says " So even if a dissected body was traced back to them, no one could prove it was murder." näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Plenty of humor to lighten the darkness of the conversation worked in throughout the book. Great for the curious young person! ( )
