Set against the backdrop of 18th-century England, the narrative explores the public spectacle of his execution in York on April 7, 1739. Through a collection of chapters profiling various individuals involved in his history—including victims, associates, and family members—the book provides a gritty, immersive look at the reality of crime and punishment during the Georgian era, contrasting the romanticized myths surrounding the notorious outlaw with the historical facts of his demise.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/dick-turpin-legends-and-lies-a-historical-narrative/412050/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/dick-turpin-legends-and-lies-a-historical-narrative/412050.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"WPS_1790064749","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",12,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"When and where was Dick Turpin executed?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"Dick Turpin was executed in York on Saturday, 7th April 1739.","Answer",{"name":116,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":117},"Who is the author of this book?",{"text":118,"@type":114},"The book was written by Terry Deary and illustrated by Zoografic.",{"name":120,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":121},"What is the significance of the crowd gathered in the first chapter?",{"text":122,"@type":114},"The crowd gathered in the fields outside the walls of York to witness the public hanging of Dick Turpin, a common spectacle used as a lesson on the consequences of being a villain.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":125,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":127,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":129,"site_id":62},412050,1790638119,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":132},{"doc_id":129,"user_id":133,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":134,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":135,"file_id":136,"file_url":137,"file_type":138,"file_size":139,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":140,"language":141,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":142,"faqs":143,"seo_title":144,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":145,"read_time":146},3985747859154,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_276721f389ce27ea32af1340a28f341c","# DIcK\n\nTURPINLegends and Lies  \nTERRY DEARY  \n# Dick Turpin:Legends and Lies\n\nby  \nTerry DearyALED  \nIllustrated by Zoografic  \nC030172880  \n\n| WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE  \u003Cbr>LIBRARIES   |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| C030172880   |  |\n| HJ   | 21/06/2007   |\n| J364.15   | £5.99   |\n| CL   |  |\n\nYou do not need to read this page-just get on with the book!
