Starlight Man: The Extraordinary Life of Algernon Blackwood"In the 1920s, he published an autobiography. But as its title suggests - Episodes Before Thirty - it covers only the period up to 1899 and its ends, 'Or mystical, psychic or so-called "occult" experiences, I have purposely said nothing'. But there was much to be said. Mike Ashley has been researching his life for more than twenty years and has discovered a wonderfully complex character - a profound mystic, a delightful storyteller, an innocent child, a wild adventurer, and a remarkable man. Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of his death, his full biography is available for the first time and reveals the inside story on this most mystical and magical of men."--BOOK JACKET. |
