The Good Old Days, Gilda O'Neill

[Mike Covell]

A must for anyone intrested in the darker side of Victorian life in London.

The book covers the seedier side of life and includes chapters on
Victorian Substance Abuse,
The Sex Trade,
Murder,
Con men,
and some bloke called Jack the Ripper!

The blurb on the back cover states "Meet the psychic who solved the Jack the Ripper Murders" but the book is more intelligent than that and names a plethora of suspects, ruling them out one by one.
It also covers the Rpyal Conspiracy and also rules it out.

An excellent book,

As a side note this book features some great pictures from the area in the era.

There are also some wonderful stories of alleged mediums conning money out of good folk, 100+ years later and nothing has changed!
