1332 Clarence: Was He Jack the Ripper? by Michael Harrison (read 8 May 1975) This is an unbelievably poorly written book. It is supposed to be a biography of Edward VII's eldest son, Albert Victor Christian Edward, who was born Jan 8, 1864. He apparently wasn't quite as dim-witted as I had imagined, but this book claims he was addicted to vice. He died Jan 14, 1892, of influenza. The author says he was not Jack the Ripper but--an awfully conjectural suspicion--says Jim Stephens was. The book is surely an amateurish mish-mash. ( )
