The Underground Man Book Summary and Study Guide

Mick Jackson Booklist Mick Jackson Message Board

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Underground Man


This lovely book is a fictionalised account of the life of the very real and very eccentric Fifth Duke of Portland who had miles of elaborate tunnels constructed under his mansion and who avoided contact with people wherever possible. This account is a believable charcter profile for the philanthropist and an excellent read.
