About this book
Amy Bock's life has been the inspiration for plays, books, a TV program, music, poems, an exhibition and more, but
Mad or Bad? is the first comprehensive biography. And while Amy gained notoriety as a daring, duplicitous and talked-about con artist who impersonated a man and married an unsuspecting woman, in this book the author shows how her story was not a straightforward case of fraud and misrepresentation.
