Ogden. Excerpts from Ogden's work are knit together by the history of the novel, its author and illustrator, and the adventures of the passionate archivists who uncovered this forgotten text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Baltimore Sun\u003c\/i\u003e writes: \"...[This] quintessentially Victorian vision of Ogden's \u003ci\u003eThe Wire\u003c\/i\u003e...is a scintillating piece of faux-scholarship. It's set in an alternate universe where the HBO series doesn't exist—and where \u003ci\u003eThe Wire\u003c\/i\u003e in any form, including Horatio Bucklesby Ogden's, has yet to be discovered.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGawker\u003c\/i\u003e asks: \"So, how long before we can actually buy this illustrated version of \u003ci\u003eThe Wire\u003c\/i\u003e?
