Our Story

By: Reginald Kray, Ronald Kray, Fred Dinenage

Narrated by: David John, Fred Dinenage

London's most notorious gangsters, in their own words . . .

The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller.

The Kray twins were Britain's most notorious gangsters. Ruling London's underworld for more than a decade, as gang lords they were among the most powerful and feared men in the city. Photographed by David Bailey and even interviewed for television, they became celebrities in their own right and are infamous to this day.

Ronnie and Reg's reign of terror ended on 8 March 1969 when they were sentenced to life with the recommendation that they serve at least thirty years. Ronnie ended his days in Broadmoor – his raging insanity only controlled by massive doses of drugs. Reg served almost three decades in some of Britain's toughest jails before being released on compassionate grounds in August 2000. He died of cancer eight months later.

Compiled from a series of interviews with Fred Dinenage from behind prison walls, Our Story is the classic account that explodes the myths surrounding the Kray twins. In it, the twins set the record straight. In their own words they tell the full story of their brutal career of crime and their years behind bars.

With an introduction from Fred Dinenage, this compelling, disturbing and highly readable book is the definitive story of two legendary criminals.

,,, An Unjustified Prison Sentence,,

,,,,,,I was so very pleased I picked Audiobook , Our Story,, with a brilliant Narrator, Fred Dienenage , Could very well have been the Twins Voice,,, Great to hear the correct true story from Reg and Ron Kray , put simply there business was kept just business, with the same guys in business as themselves,, I guessed way back in the sixties they helped a large proportion of ordinary East End Folk ,, now I am convinced they certainly did , and kept a far more safer Mannor , than we see today,, through that work there sentence was unjustified,,, A brilliant read, Ritchie,, Cha Am,,

I can't understand half of what the narrator says.

The story might be good, but the narrator is awful.

The recording quality is pretty bad, and that certainly adds to the problem, but the narrator's accent just creates unnecessary difficulty in understanding what is being said.

The accent might be well suited for the book, but he needs to be more clear in his pronunciations.

On top of that, he has a strange habit of taking long pauses, followed by a loud, deep breath. This could have, and should have, been cropped out or avoiding altogether, yet was not. This results in the book simply being annoying to listen to.

Personally, I would suggest that you don't waste your money. Just buy the hard copy.

OH PLEASE

Why is it that books by criminals, especially murderers, always make them out to be victims? I suppose that makes sense but London is better off without these guys on the loose. Society is the victim, not these pin headed thugs. I sort of resent wasting the time on "their side" of the story.

Well narrated but don't be fooled. These guys were no good. The British legal system treated them better than they deserved.
