The Hooligan Nights: Being the Life and Opinions of a Young and Impertinent Criminal Recounted by Himself and Set Forth by Clarence Rook (Oxford Paperbacks) - Softcover
Synopsis
Young Alf was a self styled hooligan and Clarence Rook made him the subject of this portrait of the lore and language of teenage gangland in London in the 1890s. Rook made excursions from his safe and respectable world to meet Young Alf at the Elephant and Castle, lambeth Walk, and elsewhere and he describes the seedy locations and incidents he witnesses in a witty & perceptive style.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good ++. Later Edition. SUBTITLED : `Being the Life and Opinions of a Young and Impertinent Criminal Recounted by Himself '. 179 pages - UNillustrated - plus book adverts. The author takes a detached look at his hero Young Alf, as a representative of the life and lore of gangland London in the 1890s. The work purports to be reporting but critics argue a measure of creative fiction. Plenty of petty crime - see e.g. the mugging of the French restauranteur on page 69.
