  2. Sweeney todd the string of pearls

    COP $ 38.000
    The exploits of sweeney todd, ´the demon barber of fleet street´, have been recounted many time in plays, films and musicals, but the origins of the character largely were forgotten for many years. The string of pearls – the original tale of sweeney todd, a classic of british horror – was first published as a weekly serial in 1846–7 by Edward Lloyd, the king of the Penny Dreadfuls. One of the earliest detective stories, it became an important source for Bram Stoker´s Dracula, but it was after over 150 years of obscurity that it first appeared in book form in the Wordsworth edition published in 2005.
