Dick Turpin is one Britain’s most famous criminals, a murderous highwayman whose nefarious deeds became romanticized decades after his execution.
My guest is James Sharpe, who shares Turpin’s story and dispels some of the myths that have grown around the outlaw over the years. His book is called “Dick Turpin: The Myth of the English Highwayman”.
