Lewis Carroll and the Ripper Myth.

Books, Press Reports Add comments

The Financial Times ran a review today of the Jenny Woolf book, The Mystery of Lewis Carroll, and it looks into, and attempts to debunk the mystery of whether or not Carroll was involved in the Jack the Ripper murders. 

Carroll was proposed in the Jack the Ripper, Light Hearted Friend, by Richard Wallace, who used anagrams from Carroll’s work to create confessions of guilt! 

Carroll’s Uncle, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was a resident of Kingston upon Hull for many years, working for both the Hull Customs and Trinity House, Dodgson was married at the Christchurch church on the aptly titled Worship-street, which is now home to the Hull History Centre!

I have the book on order, and will review it upon it’s arrival.
