The language
venerable history in fact, the first
dictionary of words specifically used by
criminals, Hye-Way to the Spittcl House,
dates from as early as
1531.
Jonathon
Green is our national expert on slang, and
in Crooked Talk he looks at five hundred
years ol crooks and conmen, from the
hedge-creepers and counterfeit cranks
ol the sixteenth century to the blaggers
