Home Sweet Home

Trevor Hall. The Enigma of Daniel Home, Medium or Fraud. Prometheus Books, 1984.
🔻  
The subtitle proclaims this as "the mystery of Britain's most famous spiritualist unmasked" but the contents do not live up to this claim. What is presented is a series of very padded essays which add little to our knowledge of Home. No fewer that forty of the 148 pages are taken up with a discussion as to the exact date of publication of Viscount Adair's Experiences in Spiritualism with Mr D. D. Home, much of it of interest only to the dedicated bibliophile. - Peter Rogerson.
