Good Christian people, pray attend
Whilst I relate to you
Concerning of a murder foul,
It is, alas, too true.
'Twas on the 17th day of June

They did complete the awful deed
Before the rising sun.
A helpless female, much beloved
Was travelling to her home,
Three boatmen seized her as she sat
The water was her home.
Here for the first time complete with extensive gazetteer and map is the true story of the murder of Christina Collins on the Trent & Mersey Canal at Rugeley in 1839, the story that inspired the creator of Inspector Morse, Colin Dexter, to write his award winning novel, The Wench is Dead. This much expanded edition is fully illustrated with an introduction by Colin Dexter.
