This fascinating, unconventional biography traces the life of the prize-winning burglar-turned-international-artist Jago Stone (1928-88). A charismatic rebel who tilted at the windmills of conformity, Stone was also an interesting character, a restless soul, and a talented artist whose watercolors and oil paintings deserve a wider audience.

Rob Donovan's in-depth research expands on Stone's own telling in The Burglar's Bedside Companion: Astounding True-Life Escapades of a Super Crook, providing a comprehensive portrait of the life and art of the robber-artist as well as the complex and changing twentieth-century-world in which he lived. A rich, illuminating reading experience, The Remarkable Life of Jago Stone is compelling and true, and a story worthy of discovery and celebration.
