简介
"'Ladies and Gentlemen ... I have to state that Mrs. Lovett's pies are made of human flesh!' This shocking announcement provides the stunning denouement to a narrative first published over a period of four months in the winter of 1846-7. The revelation marked only the beginning, however, of the notorious career of Sweeney Todd, soon known to legend as the 'Demon Barber' of London's Fleet Street. The story of Todd's entrepreneurial partnership with neighbouring pie-maker Margery Lovett - at once inconceivably, unpalatable and undeniably compelling - has spawned numerous adaptations, most notably Stephen Sondheim's musical, now a major film starring Johnny Depp in the title role." "This early classic of British horror writing is edited by Robert L. Mack, author of The Wonderful and Surprising History of Sweeney Todd: The Life and Times of an Urban Legend, with an enticing introduction and timeline charting the history of 'Sweeney Todd'."--BOOK JACKET.
