An outrageous adventure, disgracefully told...
While leafing through issues of Punch from 1880, it soon became apparent to Philip Ardagh that lurking within totally unrelated illustrations was a gang of young ladies - whom he came to call the Lawless Sisters - vying for his attention. The more he studied the pictures, the clearer and more nefarious their intentions seemed to be.
Now, in The Scandalous Life of the Lawless Sisters, he has exposed the antics of one of the Victorian underworld's most notorious and feared all-female gangs.
Anarchic, witty and often hilarious, Ardagh has created his unique - and utterly ridiculous - world.
