    Thanks to Jamie. Rick you now have an idea of the "real life" character aka Deacon Brodie (look him up). Also to be considered were the hallucinations RLS suffered from an overuse of, opium based, laudanum and his solitary hours spent alone writing the classic. It consumed him in many ways. If ever an author lived a character, this is a prime example. Cheers, Dave.

      There are many books that are classed as fiction but from a psychiatric standpoint are autobiographical.  I worked in the field of Psychiatry for many years and you can really spot them.  That is much of the reason that I asked for more information.  The human mind is in many ways a convoluted piece of anatomy.

    I saw a doco on Australian TV. A mixture of the man himself and self medication.

    Ripper. Rick. The story of how RLS wrote this little ditty is just as fascinating as the story itself and worth looking into. Cheers, Dave.

    Tom Baker does a good Charles Dicken's Christmas Carol.  I've never heard this one.  Thanks for sharing.
