Synopsis
All his life, "Johnnyboy" Steele has been running. First it was from an abusive father, then it was from the rigors of approved school, and finally, it was from the harshness of prison life. This title follows in the dangerous footsteps of a major figure in the Glasgow underworld. It tells of how John and his older brother Jim became legends and why they became heroes in prison. Preceded there by the reputation of his safeblower father, Steele's rebellious nature led him to defy a brutal system that prized the breaking of the human spirit above the breaking of old habits. He rebelled, meeting violence with violence, leading riots, and planning dramatic escapes. The book details how the brothers staged a daring breakout from Glasgow's Barlinnie Prison and recounts what happened when their younger brother, Joseph, was falsely accused of the greatest mass murder in Scottish legal history.

    1st edition, 2nd impression edition of "The Drunken Forest," by Gerald Durrell is as pictured & described. Arrived quickly & safely! Got a great deal on it! Great communication! The book, with a protective mylar cover, was wrapped in bubble wrap, then wrapped in sturdy cardboard, then placed in a rugged bubble mailer! Fort Knox in a mailer! So hard to get an early edition of this classic! So happy to add to my growing collection of nature & science books! Thank you! !!Seller Highly Recommended!!

    Book was well protected, shipped via book class, eventually arrived. In condition as described by seller, unfortunately there was a binding error during printing that was missed (15 pages were replaced with a duplicate 15 pages from another section) when informed vender checked inventory, no other identical books so they offered an alternate rare antique book but the book I was interested in at half the price was common so the seller refunded me the purchase price instead. Great seller.
