Diary of Jack the Ripper by Shirley Harrison
The writer of the horrific journal is James Maybrick, a depraved drug-taking, womanising 49-year-old Liverpool cotton merchant with a history of domestic violence. In this bestselling analysis of his diary, investigative author Shirley Harrison explains all about the origins of the text, the rigorous scientific analysis it has endured and reveals startling new information about Maybrick's shadowy background. All this, combined with a chilling confession scratched into a watch, 'I am Jack. J Maybrick,' provide powerful justification that Maybrick was Jack the Ripper. The diary itself is reproduced in full, so that you too can judge whether these are the deeply disturbing words of Jack the Ripper himself, reaching out from across the abyss of more than a century.SHIRLEY HARRISON debuted on BBC's Children's Hour as a young schoolgirl. She has written numerous nonfiction books and worked as a freelance journalist. She founded one of the earliest preschool playgroups in the United Kingdom after relocating to Sussex. Winnie-the-Pooh's hometown, to be exact. Mrs. Harrison was interviewed by Harrison. Milne was inspired to write the bear's true-life story after reading an article on the toy bear in a magazine.
