Title Who Hung The Monkey Price £3.95 Author Paul Screeton ISBN 1872239064 Description The most popular and widespread belief regarding the Hartlepool legend, and which is so deeply rooted that no amount of coercion or reason will shift, is that during the time of the Napoleonic Wars a monkey was washed ashore and mistaken for a French spy. Chattering away and dressed in military-style uniform - as was and sometimes still is such common practice for pets - it was decided that as a precaution it should be hanged. However, as we shall see, the monkey's appearance could be by way of two means - and anyway it may have been a boy, and not a monkey Edition Paperback
