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
