RUN RBBIT RUN The Edna Murray Story The Life, The Legend, and The Legacy of Edna 'Rabbit' Murray 'The Kissing Bandit'

Softcover. INSC. AND SIGNED. Run Rabbit Run - The Life, The Legend, and The Legacy of Edna "Rabbit" Murray, "The Kissing Bandit," is told by Edna's granddaughter Pam Paden Tippet. Edna wasn't your ordinary grandmother, with nicknames like "Rabbit" and "The Kissing Bandit." She ran with the likes of the Ma Barker Gang, Alvin Karpis, and even harboured John Dillinger and a dying John "Red" Hamilton. She served time with Barrow Gang member Blanche Barrow, and was a three-time prison escapee earning the nickname "Rabbit" since no pen could keep her in. A compelling story detailing the life of Edna Murray, her criminal career as a Gangster Moll in the Barker-Karpis Gang - including how it all began - how her life ended - and the impact it had on her family. J. Edgar Hoover said of the Barker-Karpis Gang, "... the toughest mob we ever cracked." This is a true story initially intended only for Pam Paden Tippet's daughter and grandson, so that they would know their family history. Encouragement from her friends helped her to get over the "going public" barrier - but she vowed to keep it the truth and the whole truth. Like the people she writes about, it is "gritty" and not politically correct. Nothing she tells has been sugar coated - because these weren't the sweetest of people or times. "I'm not saying that I approve of any of the crimes my family and their gang members committed - I'm not saying that I loved them any less for what they did. They all experienced their own private hell in the end." "Grandma Didn't Bake Cookies" Illus. + Index. 644pp. 8vo. softcover. PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY PAM PADEN TIPPET. F. with no creasing to covers. A heavy book which will require additional postage, particularly if shipped overseas.
