Paperback octavo, very good condition, black & white photos centre spread, pages faintly toned as usual. 303 pp. Ethel Livesey was an attractive young woman from a respectable middle-class family in Manchester, but she had over 40 aliases, eight official marriages, four children and five divorces.

But what was fact and what was fiction?
