An autobiography claiming to be the memoirs of Jack the Ripper has been unearthed at a Somerset museum.

Experts said the book, written by a James Carnac, is almost certainly a fake but is in places "very accurate" and the earliest work of its kind.

It was discovered amongst the effects of a children's entertainer, handed to Montacute TV Radio and Toy Museum.

It is thought Jack the Ripper killed and mutilated at least five prostitutes in London's East End in 1888.

The book, thought to have been written in the 1920s, is typewritten and bound with a cardboard cover entitled 'The Autobiography of James Carnac'.
