Synopsis:
Book of the Year 2015.Finalist: International Book Awards, 2016This second, expanded, edition of Simon Daryl Wood's award-winning book continues to reveal the endless stream of lies, invention, political misinformation, self-publicity and opportunism which has kept this Victorian bogeyman alive in the darkest reaches of our 21st Century imaginations. It introduces characters many readers may not have encountered before, takes a closer look at some of Ripperology's sacred texts, and provides additional facts, allowing for a better understanding of the people, places and events surrounding the Whitechapel murders of 1888.
About the Author: Simon Daryl Wood was born in England, and in 2000 had the honour of being elected Mayor of Newtown, in Powys, Wales. He has since become a resident of California. Primarily a writer of non-fiction history, with a number of articles on the 1888 Whitechapel murders published in specialist journals, he is currently working on a novel and a book about the 1549 Prayer Book Rebellion. Simon's finely-tuned appreciation of the absurd led to the writing of Fairy Story, a fantasy adventure for children and grown-ups inspired by events on Wall Street and the ensuing culture of greed which appears to be characterizing the 21st Century.
