Out of Print
Substantial parts of this book have previously appeared in print, namely in the London Evening Standard, Everybody's, the Manchester Evening Chronicle, and the provincial newspapers which take the feature service supplied by the Central Press, Ltd.
I am grateful to the editors of these journals for kindly enabling me to republish them in this form. I am also indebted to the editor of the News of the World for permission to quote an account of a case recently described in its pages.
