Scottish Criminals by Gary Smailes

All are vividly brought to life by award-winning children's illustrator Scoular Anderson.Gary Smailes studied for a master's degree in Military History before working as a researcher with Horrible Histories writer Terry Deary. He has written eight books on Modern Heroes for Waverley Books and four books about world-famous battles for Franklin Watts. He lives in Cheshire.
