The Baby Farmer by Margaret Scott (Dedication inside from cover by author) THE BABY-FARMER Have you never heard of a baby-farmer? They trade in children, sir, and grow fat on human flesh." Terrified that her child will fall victim to the operators of a murderous racket that flourished in Victorian London, a young servant-girl pleads for help in rescuing her baby son. She sets in train a series of mysterious and shocking events that transform the lives of the dissolute Colonel Fellowes and his family; the sinister Mrs Hartshorne; and a cast of other characters who lurk in the shadows of the richest and most hypocritical city on earth. The Baby-Farmer, Margaret Scott's first novel, is based on the horrifying facts that emerged at a murder trial in the 1870s. A fast-moving story of crime, lust and greed, it will hold the reader spellbound all the way to its astonishing climax.
