Despite how unbelievalbe the stories banged up inside these pages may seem, Law's Strangest Cases promises to tell the truth, the whold truth and nothing but the truth when it comes to the weird and ludicrous cases of bonkers litigation.

Award-winning author Peter Seddon gives life to over five centuries of legal calamities- enough to turn any sober judge to drinking! Read all about Polly, the only dead parrot ever to give evidence. Take your place on the bench to look straight into the evil eyes of Harold Shipman, and then join the jury to decide the most indigestible question in legal history: if you'd been shipwrecked 2000 miles from home, would you have eaten Parker the cabin boy?

If you ever thought the judges' silly wigs were bizarre, then Law's Strangest Cases will keep you reading sentence after sentence. Full of riotous and entertaining stories, it's perfect for anyone who is doing time on a long stretch. Just don't try and steal it, otherwise you may end up inside!
