My favorite part about the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure meets D&D gamebooks, Wizards, Warriors & You, apart from the Earl Norem covers of course, is that some of the titles sound like Troy McClure movies (”Dragon Queen’s Revenge”) and others sound like a movie Steven Universe would love (”Challenge of the Wolf Knight”).
Mary Bryant (b.1765) was a Cornish woman convicted of highway robbery in the 1780′s. She was sent to the penal colony in Australia. Enroute she gave birth to a daughter, Charlotte, and on arrival she married a fellow Cornish man William Bryant.
In 1791 she and her husband, along with several others, escaped by making a very hazardous journey to Dutch controlled Timor. They told Dutch authorities that they were shipwreck survivors. They were believed until William, in a drunken-state, let slip that they were convicts.
The Dutch returned them to England to stand trial and enroute William and Charlotte took ill and died. Mary stood trial again upon arrival in England. Her lawyer successfully defended her and obtained her a pardon which saw her released from Newgate and allowed to return home to Cornwall where she died in 1794.
