I WITNESSED THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY OF 1963 TP

I Witnessed: The Great Train Robbery of 1963 TP is a graphic novel following aspiring investigative reporter Marilyn as she sneaks aboard a Glasgow-to-London Royal Mail train on August 7, 1963.

Yet her presence on the scene changes the course of history, as her notes and photographs help the investigators close in on the culprits. This 208-page, softcover volume blends historical detail with lively art and suspenseful storytelling. Written by Andrea Debbink with vivid art by Crystal Jayme (cover by Jayme), the book brings a real-life heist to young readers through clear narration, accessible history, and a keen sense of adventure. It’s a gripping entry in the I Witnessed series, perfect for curious minds and history buffs.
