About this book

Writing at sea with a pad on his knee, Arthur Conan Doyle records a lecture tour shaped by his belief in communication with the dead. His account follows travels through Australia and New Zealand in 1920 and 1921, mixing public meetings, séances and religious argument with observations of cities, countryside and life aboard ship. An experience at Merthyr with his wife helps explain the personal conviction behind his mission.

Everyday incidents interrupt the discussions of faith: at Manly, a blue jellyfish rewards his curiosity with a painful sting. In Sydney, opposition to his lectures prompts him to propose a test of spirit communication using witnesses and a jury. The memoir offers a view of spiritualist advocacy through one participant's eyes, alongside details of travel and public life. It suits readers interested in the meeting of personal belief, religious controversy and travel writing.
