MAN MADE ANGRY

Hardback. An extremely rare fiction title published as '...the first sympathetic biography of a "Jack the Ripper." 'If you had met him as he first came to London, you would have seen a young man with the love of poetry and fear of God in his soul. If you had known that two butcher-knives, relics of his former profession, lay concealed at the bottom of his trunk, you might have wondered why he kept them. But you would not have suspected where his ideals would eventually lead him.' 289pp. 8vo. Insc. on fep by previous owner dated August 1932. Small mk. to fr. cover o/w a Vg+ copy of a scarce Jack the Ripper related title. Mentioned on p.74 in Ross Strachan's excellent reference work 'The Jack the Ripper Handbook'.
