This remarkable work by the author of On Having No Head is didactic fiction in the English tradition of More, Bunyan, Butler, Orwell and Huxley. Taking the form of a court case in the year 2003 AD in which a man is tried for blasphemy, the book dramatises Harding's highly original techniques for Seeing Who We Are, and gauges our myriad ideas about our relationship with the Divine. It is also an indictment of the cruel sport of heresy hunting and a passionate plea for tolerance and forgiveness in our time. "The book is witty and wise, humorous yet profoundly serious, human and divine. It so engages the mind that the heart sings." Father Gerard W. Hughes.

<p><p>If these tales had been written by an unknown author, then they would simply be entertaining reflections on a childhood and youth lived in the early 20th century. But they gain in interest and significance because of who wrote them, for they provide an insight into the life and mind of a youngster who later became a great philosopher and spiritual teacher. These stories open a window on Douglas Harding's early life -- their autobiographical nature is only thinly disguised. After reading them, you will know and understand Douglas Harding in a new and more intimate way.</p></p>
