Hide AdIt tells the possibly true story of a female highway robber terrorising the county’s roads in the 17th century, and was made into the 1945 British film The Wicked Lady, starring Margaret Lockwood, Patricia Roc and James Mason.
Dr Hughes will talk about the novel and how much truth there is to the legend of the real female highway robber, Katherine Ferrers, on whom the novel is based, and will be signing copies of his book.
