Hi everyone, I am just wondering if there is a book on the subject of Lewis Carroll as Jack The Ripper? Either a full book, or at least Carroll covered as a suspect?

Willy,

Yes there is. Jack the Ripper: Light-hearted Friend by Richard Wallace.

An interesting take on the subject of Wallace's book can be found at :

Ha, great link, I think that about says enough with respect to the book without one actually having to purchase it. Thanks for the info, and the link John.

John,

Thanks from me as well. I have never considered Lewis Carroll a viable suspect, but none the less it was worth checking out the link.
