Everyone has heard tales of Dick Turpin and other dashing highwaymen, but Oxfordshire boasts its own home-grown rogues. Mike White shares stories about both famous and lesser-known highwaymen who terrorised the county. Discover which highwayman only stole from enemies of the King, which dandy danced with his lady victims, which rogue single-handedly robbed the army payroll, who rode to York in a single day, and which bad boy was a bishop. Come along and find out... from local author and Wantage Literary Festival volunteer Mike White.
The event will be followed by a question and answer session and book signing.
