Book Overview

Sylvia's World: Crimes Which The Law Does Not Reach is a book written by Sue Petigru Bowen and published in 1859. The book is a collection of short stories that explore the darker side of society and the crimes that often go unpunished by the law. The stories are set in the mid-19th century and feature characters from various walks of life, including wealthy socialites, criminals, and working-class individuals. Each story delves into a different aspect of crime, such as murder, theft, and fraud, and examines the motivations and consequences of these actions. Throughout the book, Bowen also comments on the shortcomings of the legal system and the need for reform. Sylvia's World provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural attitudes of the time and remains relevant today as a commentary on the nature of crime and justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
