This is the story of Margaret Catchpole, born into a
smugglers'' world in Suffolk in the late 1700s. As the valued
servant of a wealthy family and a friend of criminals, Margaret
leads a double life that inevitably brings about her downfall, and
she is sentenced to hang not once, but twice. But she escapes the
gallows and is transported with other convicts to Australia. A
wonderful adventure story, Scapegallows takes inspiration from the
life of the real Margaret Catchpole. A woman who lived by her wits,
she was a slip-gibbet, a scapegallows.
