First published in 1953, The Boy Who Saw True still makes a worthwhile read. It contains the diaries of a precocious young boy born in the late 19th century. He was clairvoyant and could see auras and spirits, yet failed to realise that other people were not similarly gifted. In consequence, he was often misunderstood. In his preface to the book, the famous occultist Cyril Scott writes: ‘Of all the hundreds of books I have read on spiritualism and kindred subjects, not one of them has ever displayed the characteristics of this highly diverting human document, with its naive candours, its drolleries, its unconscious humour, its oscillations between the ridiculous and the exalted, and its power to convince, for the very reason that the young diarist never set out with the intention of carrying conviction.' 160pp, 130mm x 197mm, softback, 2005 (First published 1953)
