Item description from seller

Book Club edition. 8vo. [viii], 250 pp. Figs., index. Cloth, dust jacket; ownership signature obscured with white-out. Very good. "Ford was a fraud artist who faked several famous seances." "Following her husband, Albin C. Bro, Marguerite Harmon Bro served for many years as a Christian missionary in China. Her husband was also a Chicago based educator who served 1939-1949 as president of Francis Shimer women's junior college, and he was a reserve United States Foreign Service officer who served as a U.S. cultural attache in China. The family was prominent in spiritualist circles. Albin Bro co-founded the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship with fellow spiritualists Arthur Ford (Ford was a fraud artist who faked several famous seances) and Paul Higgins. Marguerite Bro herself helped bring national attention to the career of clairvoyant Edgar Cayce through a September, 1943 article in Coronet Magazine. She also co-wrote Arthur Ford's "autobiography," Nothing So Strange, 1958. "Marguerite Bro published many children's books and books on religious topics, she was also a playwright, and wrote magazine articles on spiritualism, organic gardening and nutrition."
