Voted one of The Guardian's top 10 best crime books of all time and
one of the best true crime books ever written according to Stylist
Shirley Pitts, the eldest of six children was born upside down on
24 November 1934. Her 'career' began by thieving bread off
doorsteps and coal from coal carts. Her father's bungled attempts
at black marketeering and her dipsomaniac mother's inadequacies
made Shirley resolve not only to be a first-class thief but also
the best mother her six children could wish for. Before she died
Shirley told her story to Lorraine - the story of a generous, brave
and beautiful woman with a huge sense of fun and a love of life.
