'The Fleet: Its Rivers, Prison, and Marriages' by John Ashton uncovers the fascinating and scandalous tales of the Fleet, a region associated with one of London's subterranean rivers. Three topics are discussed in great detail specifically: Fleet Fleet Prison, a notorious institution that loomed ominously by the River Fleet, imprisoning souls within its walls for centuries; Fleet Marriages; clandestine unions that defied convention and authority, conducted within the prison's confines during a time when love and law clashed; and Fleet River itself, including its history.
