Evelyn Waugh was born in Hampstead in 1903 and educated at Hertford College, Oxford. In 1928 he published his first novel, Decline and Fall, which was soon followed by Vile Bodies (1930), Black Mischief (1932), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Scoop (1938). During these years he also travelled extensively and converted to Catholicism. In 1939 Waugh was commissioned in the Royal Marines and later transferred to the Royal Horse Guards, experiences which informed his Sword of Honour trilogy (1952-61). His most famous novel, Brideshead Revisited (1945), was written while on leave from the army. Waugh died in 1966.

Allegra Taylor

Allegra Taylor has journeyed throughout the world in a quest to understand how healing works. She chronicles her own gradual acquisition of healing skills as she explores a whole range methods and ideas. 
 
She discovers that the healer is essentially a catalyst, not a magician. That health is much more than mere absence of disease. That the power to heal is one face of the power to love. That anyone can do it.

I Fly Out With Bright Feathers

The Quest of a Novice Healer

Frances R Clifford

This book charts the aromatic pathway from the pre-conceptual stage right through to delivery and ne-natal care. It is a must for any health-conscious couple contemplating starting a family and wishing to enhance their lifestyle with essential oils and other naturally energetic products. 
 
The author has been in practice as an aromatherapist since the early 1980's, having previously founded the Bodytreats Group with her husband. Together, they have spearheaded a new approach to the understanding of the innermost secrets of essential oils, thus affecting the rationales which govern their use in clinical practice. 
Most of her time is spent with patients in Harley Street, London, teaching worldwide, lecturing and writing. She specializes in the treatment of cellulite, stress-related illnesses and the care of parents-to-be and their families.

Aromatherapy During Your Pregnancy

Arthur Guirdham

This book describes how a group of people, who had lived and suffered together in the 13th century, re-assembled in the 20th century in a limited area in the west of England. 
 
Independently of each other these people tuned in, with the piercing accuracy of searchlights, to the same tragic events in the Languedoc in the years 1242 to 1244. 
 
One of the most remarkable features of the book is the description of sketches made by a child of seven. It is clear that in these she too was remembering the same tragic years. 
 
Of this circle of people alive in the 20th century, the author has discovered the mediaeval names and roles of seven of the eight involved. 
 
Though born with a highly developed critical faculty the author regards the material revealed to him as unique. He has written this book to record faithfully an astounding experience and to fulfil the obligation laid on him to provide proof, not only of group reincarnation, but of the indestructibility of the human psyche.

We Are One Another

Factual record of a woman who remembers her life in the 13th century.

The Cathars & Reincarnation

Jane Sherwood

There is probably no stranger nor more controversial book that Jane Sherwood's report, through automatic writing, of the identity of a communicator from the other side of the grave who chose to call himself 'Scott'. 
 
After many years of enforced silence, as a result of a solemn promise given to Scott, Jane Sherwood reveals his true identity, namely, Colonel T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia). 
 
Post-Mortem Journal opens at the moment of Lawrence's death when he finds himself lying at the roadside by his shattered motorbike, unaware that he is actually 'dead'. It continues over the years and shows us the development and salvation of a tortured and guilty man who, for the first time, is forced into admitting his weaknesses and vanities during his earthly life and is only now able to come to terms with himself. Such revelations are both harrowing and magnificent. 
 
'As to the validity', says Jane Sherwood, 'of the information contained in "Scott's" journal I can only vouch for my own honesty; what I have received is here set down without addition or modification. The readers must judge of its probability for themselves.'

Post-Mortem Journal

Communications from Lawrence of Arabia through the mediumship of Jane Sherwood

This book describes what befell the author when she set out to try to contact her husband. She was not in touch with anyone who was qualified to advise or warn her, and throughout many years endured frustrating, misleading experiences and dangers of which she had been innocently unaware. 
 
If for no other reason, this book should be valued for the advice given to all who pursue psychic investigation. 
 
Subject matter includes descriptions of the active, progressing life 'beyond', analysis of the human entity - ourselves - i.e. descriptions of the four bodies or modes we all have, reincarnations, and the esoteric order within our solar system. 
 
With characteristic humility the author describes her book as a 'starting point' for others to work from.

The Country Beyond

The Doctrine of Re-Birth

Dr Dorothy Shepherd

Dr Dorothy Shepherd offers a guide to the medicinal treatment of first aid. 
 
For years she followed obediently the recognised, well-troden paths of antiseptic and aseptic wound treatment, with little or no medicinal aid, other than those already mentioned. She then had the opportunity to study and apply first-aid methods in surgical outpatients, private practice and a munition factory in the First World War and the later a minor ailment clinic. 
 
She gave up entirely the old methods and with the help of a devoted staff applied these comparatively new homoeopathic ideas which have proved successful.
