Stony Jack and the Lost Jewels of Cheapside by Victoria Shepherd
Treasure makes respectable people do dishonourable things'A spellbinding dive into the murky world of London's antiquities. Totally captivating.' —Lara Maiklem, author of Mudlarking
'In this tantalizing account, BBC documentary producer Shepherd (A History of Delusions) revisits the mystery of the Cheapside Hoard, the largest collection of Tudor and Stuart treasures ever uncovered... Shepherd meticulously examines the Hoard’s possible origins and its murky fate... museum officials as well as royals, who may have surreptitiously acquired some of the Hoard for themselves. Full of fascinating asides, including a tangent on the similar fate of artifacts later recovered from Tutankhamun’s Tomb, this rivets.' —Publishers Weekly
Victoria Shepherd conceived and produced the ten-part series A History of Delusions for BBC Radio 4 and is author of the book of the same name. She has produced scores of documentaries and major strands for BBC Radio 4 and holds an MA in creative writing from the University of East Anglia.
