Magician, Poet and Seer, Victor Neuburg  was the disciple of Aleister Crowley  and literary godfather of Dylan Thomas.     Really two books in one. Firstly a record of one man's extraordinary journey to magical  enlightenment. Secondly the story of the Aleister Crowley, the magus who summoned  Neuburg to join him in the quest. The book opens with the author's entry into the group  of young poets including Dylan Thomas and Pamela Hansford Johnson.   They gather around Victor Neuburg in  1935 when he is poetry editor of the Sunday Referee.   Gradually the author becomes aware of his strange and sinister past,  in which  Neuburg was associated in magic with Aleister Crowley.  Neuburg had been  Crowley's partner in magical rituals in the desert and in rites even more dangerous and controversial.  The author sought out the truth behind the rumours and with her intuitive understanding of deeper things presents a sympathetic and compelling biography.  'Vicky encouraged me as no one else has done,' Dylan Thomas declared on hearing  of Neuburg's death. 'He possessed many kinds of genius, and not the least was his genius  for drawing to himself, by his wisdom, graveness, great humour and innocence, a feeling  of trust and love, that won't ever be forgotten.' ' . . . there was a whiff  of sulphur abroad, and all of us would have liked to know  the truth of the Aleister Crowley's legends, the truth of the witch-like baroness  called Cremers, the abandonment of Neuburg in the desert.' - Pamela Hansford Johnson

In the autumn of 1888 London women lived under the shadow of the Ripper murders - killings perhaps unmatched in their sadistic brutality. Sickert &amp; the Ripper Crimes derives from the unsuspected testimony of the woman who had particular reason to fear for her life. Florence Pash, friend and colleague of the artist Walter Sickert and herself an artist, confided to the author's mother when in her late eighties, a terrible story that she had kept even from those closest to her. She and Sickert had both known Mary Kelly, the last woman to be brutally murdered by the Ripper - and Sickert had warned her that, because she knew what Mary Kelly knew, she could become, if she ever began to talk, the Ripper's next victim. Sickert told Florence that he was painting into his pictures clues to the murders as he wished people to know the truth after his death. Jean Overton Fuller using her artist's eye, has picked them out and read the riddle.</p>

History

<p>Noor Inayat Khan (1914-1944) was SOE s first woman wireless transmitter in German Occupied Paris during World War II. Posthumously awarded the George Cross MBE and Croix de Guerre with Gold Star for her outstanding wartime service and heroism on behalf of the Allied cause, Noor s remarkable and inspiring life have been commemorated in numerous war memorials, WWII histories, and several films. Born to an American mother, Ora Ray Baker, and an Indian Sufi father, Hazrat Inayat Khan, Noor was raised in France, studying music under Nadia Boulanger and child psychology at the Sorbonne. Her children s stories appeared in Le Figaro and were broadcast over Radiodiffusion Francaise, and her book "Twenty Jataka Tales" was published in London. Her writing career was interrupted by the German invasion of France in 1940. The Inayat Khan family fled to England, and Noor enlisted in the WAAF where she trained as a wireless transmitter. Her Parisian background and wireless skills led to her recruitment by the SOE (Special Operations Executive). In 1943 she was secretly flown back to France where she began her undercover work under the code name Madeleine. Constantly on the move between multiple locations and using false identities, Noor transmitted messages for the SOE s French and RF (République Française) sections, and for De Gaulle s Free French network. Betrayed by an acquaintance, she was captured by the Gestapo and held for interrogation in Paris. After repeated escape attempts, she was deemed a dangerous prisoner and transferred to Pforzheim prison in Germany, where she was held in maximum security and solitary confinement. As the war drew to an end in the fall of 1944, Noor was transported to Dachau, where she was executed. Her last word before being shot was Liberté!  This new edition of Noor-un-nisa: Madeleine includes previously unpublished material including a retrospective by Noor s brother Vilayat Inayat Khan, Noor friendship with the author, and further research on Noor s life and the SOE.</p>
