He moved to Limehouse, developed The Waterman's Arms as a pub on the Isle of Dogs, wrote books on Jack the Ripper and his great-uncle Bram Stoker, moved to Devon, met Henry Williamson and Jeremy Thorpe, worked with Joan Littlewood, wrote a biography of Francis Bacon and travelled in Turkey and the Caucasus.| SKU | Non disponible |
