Author's Note

More than a century after Sweeney Todd’s death, the unknown remains of his life reappear under the floor boards of the top floor of the old “Mrs. Lovett’s Meat Pies” building. Sweeney Todd’s personal thoughts and emotions were carefully written through the pages of a thick brown leather journal. Not a word was spoken that this fossil even existed until a curious child came along in 1961. Who was this child and how did they find it? What was written in Todd’s journal? “The Modern Version Journals of Sweeney Todd” will unlock these questions and more. Filled with wonder, heartbreak, and agony; the answers to how Sweeney Todd dealt with so much pain, is explained in his own very way. Through the words and spaces on a page.
