The Weird and Wonderful Story of Gin : From the 17th Century to the Present Day Hardback
by Angela Youngman
Part of the A Dark History series
Hardback
Description
Gin is a global alcoholic drink that has polarised opinion like no other, and its history has been a roller coaster, alternating between being immensely popular and utterly unfashionable. _The Weird and Wonderful Story of Gin_ explores the exciting, interesting and downright curious aspects of the drink, with crime, murder, poisons, fires, dramatic accidents, artists, legends and disasters all playing a part.
These dark themes are also frequently used to promote brands and drinks. Did you know that the Filipinos are the world's biggest gin drinkers? And even that Jack the Ripper, Al Capone and the Krays all have their place in the history of gin?
Not to mention Sir Winston Churchill, Noel Coward, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and James Bond!
