Vincent Hitchcock was for many years the only professional matador from England. He entertained crowds in the Spanish arena from 1949 up to the 1960s and killed more than 100 bulls during his career. He was tossed many times, repeatedly gored and almost lost his life on several occasions. His parents deplored his choice of profession and thankfully the world has moved on with regards to animal welfare. Vincent Hitchcock died in 1976 from cancer at the age of just 48. Quite a scarce book.
