The true story of a mysterious midsummer manhunt

August Bank Holiday, 1927. An ordinary little man in a trilby hat paces the promenade at Great Yarmouth. His picture is in the paper, his name on handbills all over town: there is a reward on his head. The wanted man is Mr Lobby Lud.
Miles Kington tells the story of the sensational newspaper stunt which for years turned the nation into seaside sleuths. Featuring the original Mr Lobby Lud, W.T. Chinn
