• Description: Synopsis: Low Company describes with wit the making of a burglar before the Second World War. Born in Soho in 1910, Mark Benney gives in this autobiography an account of his experience of unrespectable working class life, and how it contributed to his development as a thief. Detail is given of Soho club life, the industrial schools, borstals and prison experience, as well as the criminal sub-culture which flourished between the wars. Publication of the book led to the abandonment of his career as a burglar, and after working in journalism, Benney engaged in research on working class politics, and eventually became a professor of social science in one of the leading American universities.Comments: 1936 first edition- green cloth hardback -no dust cover- cover edges rubbed. -ownership inscriptions to end paper- page edges foxed and marked -contents clean and good .
