ON THE SIDE OF ANGELS Gordon Higginson by Jean Bassett / 1993 / 212 pages. 

Gordon Higginson's birth was ordained - by the spirit world. Now none would dispute that he is Britain's best-known medium whilst he was alive, one whose gifts include not only trance and clairvoyance, but the dramatic faculty of materialization where the so-called dead literally appear in the séance room to be reunited with loved ones. Past President of the Spiritualists' National Union for over 20 years, countless hundreds of thousands across the United Kingdom have marvelled at his brilliant clairvoyance not only in Spiritualist churches, but in halls and theatres, including London's famous Royal Albert Hall. "On the side of Angels" is not only a thrilling biography, detailing Gordon's action-filled life, but takes an inside look at one of the greatest ever Spiritualist mediums. Gordon gives his views on a range of topics, telling of some of the compelling evidence he has received from the dead. It is the unique story of an equally unique man, one whose life bridges two worlds - this one and the next.
