I'm a bit intrigued by this man. I was listening to an old recording of a priest talking about the conversion to Catholicism of a Lord Longford... and how he wrote a book about humility (and some other interesting topics too).

I read his wife was initially scandalized by his desire to convert.

But then I also came across quite a few who were outraged by him over his views on certain prison cases.

Can anyway recommend a book of his?

I've never heard of him. Judging from the Wikipedia bio, he might be better known in the UK.

I think he concerned himself with Maura Hindley, did he not? I don't know much about him. He also wrote a couple of books on Irish topics.

Yes, he did. I'd never heard of the case before.

Myra Hindley even.

The Moors murders are infamous in the UK.

Not totally unknown over here.

I know nothing of his writings, but his wife did some bios, two of which are somewhere around here.
