The Modern Version Journals of Sweeney Todd

by Mr. Stench

More than a century after Sweeney Todd's death, his life appears once again through the words and pages of a brown leather journal. How were the entries found? What was written in the journal? Filled with wonder, heartbreak and agony; Sweeney Todd answers these questions and more through the words and spaces on the pages.

1. Author's Note

Hello Reader,

First off, thank you for looking into this story and reading this. Your support means so much to me and is what makes me enjoy writing, especially on the topic of Sweeney Todd.

Structure: This book will start off with a Prologue and will tell the story of how Sweeney's journals were found in the first place. The Prologue has no real connection to the story behind Sweeney Todd's journals. The point is to just get information behind how they were found. The rest of the book will be his journals, starting in 1854. Each journal entry will be a new 'chapter,' titling the chapter with the date of which it was written.

Language: The words and phrases they used in the 1800s are not the same as in the 2000s, so the text will be written in modern English, not the way Sweeney has written them.

History and Content: The name 'Sweeney Todd' has a lot of history, stories, and plots behind it. These set of journals are based off of the 2007 film, "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," directed by Tim Burton. The content will be based off of the plot and time period in that film.

Point of View: These journals will be in the point of view of Sweeney Todd himself, since indeed, he was the one who wrote them.

Any other questions or comments are welcome. Just comment on my page or on this section.

Thank You and Happy Reading!

-Mr. S
