Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Reprint. TIME OUT OF MIND Joan Grant. Arthur Barker, London. 1958 Reprint. 254pp Hardback. This copy is in remarkably well preserved condition. The book is in FINE unmarked condition, tight, white and bright. The unclipped dustwrapper is a trifle rubbed on the back panel but otherwise FINE. It still retains its original Book Society band. Joan Grant (1907-89) came to fame in 1937 as the author of Winged Pharaoh, a historical novel set in ancient Egypt. 'I have been enthralled by the book as by nothing I have read for years' said London's Sunday Times and it soon leapt into the best seller lists in countries round the world. Admired for its vivid recreation of a civilisation in many ways wiser than ours, it inspired readers with the ideals and values of its young heroine Sekeeta. Seven more novels followed as well as two collections of stories for children. It was only on publication of her autobiography in 1956, that Joan Grant publicly revealed that 'during the last twenty years, seven books of mine have been published as historical novels which to me are biographies of previous lives I have known.' In her later years Joan Grant practised what is now known as 'past life regression therapy' with her husband Dr Denys Kelsey and together they wrote Many Lifetimes about their experiences and ideas. 'I was conceived in the Blue Grotto at Capri in June 1906' begins Joan Grant's autobiography. A fascinating, even breathtaking account of a woman born with second sight and far memory, who as a spirited child believed these were experiences the grown-ups in her Edwardian upbringing shared, but did not speak about in 'polite' society. Having learnt to disclaim her psychic abilities, she emerges perplexed and rebellious from the arms of her eccentric, yet very conventional family, determined to do what she can to heal the world. She suffers heartbreak, finds friendship and marriage, rebels against the traditional role of woman, and in her late twenties decides she must honour her unusual gifts despite her discomfort at being 'different'.
