Sweeney Todd: The String of Pearls (Revised) | James Malcolm Rymer

pick

🥧 4/5 pies for the original tale of the demon barber. It was published as a series of penny dreadfuls in 1846-7.Only 4 characters are the same-Mr. Todd, Mrs. Lovett, Tobias, & Johanna.Johanna is not Todds daughter, hes not seeking revenge.Even though it is so different from what we know (the play & film) i really enjoyed it. It felt like an entirely different story and I had no idea how it was going to unfold. film/play stray so much from the OG.

I love this story! I never knew there was so much history in it. This copy actually has the story of how it was narrative under the original title of The String of Pearls that appeared in The People's Periodical and Family Library in 1846 and became a phenomenon in Britain. This copy is also written in the original text of the narrative. So much history in books ❤️

So I was about to start The Hatching by Ezekiel Boone when I noticed that I had Sweeney Todd in my stack for October. This is no bueno considering I'm the team captain for #TeamStoker and this is considered a slasher book 😲 so I decided to switch them! Sweeney Todd is now in the lineup for #24B4Monday 🍻👻🎉

@Andrew65 @jb72

kymmiesreads @TheReadingMermaid could you explain #24b4monday 5y

BeansPage @kymmiesreads hello again sweetheart 👋😁 this is a weekend readathon that takes place every last weekend of the month. The overall goal is to hit 24 hours of reading time within the span of Thursday at midnight until Sunday at midnight. But I got to say, the main goal is just to read and have fun. We all set our own goals for ourselves and no goal is too small ❤️ 5y

Bookwormjillk I‘m doing the readathon vs scareathlon juggling thing too. Great first day! 5y
