Vittles And Vice is a book written by Patricia Bronte that explores the relationship between food and crime. The book is a collection of stories that are centered around food-related crimes, such as poisoning, theft, and fraud. Each story is based on real-life cases that have occurred throughout history. The book starts with an introduction that explains the concept of food and crime, and how the two are intertwined. It then moves on to the first story, which is about a woman who poisoned her husband with arsenic-laced food. The subsequent stories cover a range of food-related crimes, including the theft of rare foods, the use of food to cover up a murder, and the use of food as a weapon.Throughout the book, Bronte delves into the psychology behind food-related crimes and explores the motives of the perpetrators. She also provides historical context for each story, giving readers a glimpse into the time period in which the crime occurred. Overall, Vittles And Vice is a fascinating read for anyone interested in true crime and the history of food. Bronte's writing style is engaging and informative, and the stories she tells are both shocking and thought-provoking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
