As a child, the astonishing Joan Grant became aware of her uncanny "Far Memory," the ability to recall past incarnations who had lived in long-ago times and far-flung places. Her seven historical novels stand out for their vividness and rich detail. For Joan, these books were not works of the imagination but personal recollections of her previous lives. In Winged Pharaoh, Joan Grant tells the story of Sekeeta, the Pharaoh''s daughter. The ancient Egyptians reserved the title of "Winged Pharaoh" for ruler-priests who possessed extra-sensory powers. When Sekeeta demonstrates psychic abilities, she is sent to the temple and trained to recall past lives. Upon the death of her father, she becomes a "Winged Pharaoh" - both priestess and Pharaoh - and leads her country with enlightenment. The most famous of Joan Grant''s "Far Memory" novels, this book brings the grandeur, beauty, and mystery of ancient Egypt to life. Upon Winged Pharaoh''s original publication in 1937, the New York Times called it "an unusual book that shines with fire."

In this new book, the unlikely pals -- he''s from the land, she''s from the sea -- are curious about where the waves go. So they sail away through storm and wind to a beautiful tropical island. Along the way they meet many friendly creatures from both their worlds. This sequel to the award-winning Cat and Fish features Neil Curtis''s superb black-and-white craftsmanship and illustrations, including a wonderful fold-out of "twelve wise owls." Spiraling and curving text is a visual treat, drawing children in, and Joan Clark''s lively story delivers an encouraging message about the joys of friendship and being oneself.

When Cat and Fish meet in the park one night they know they come from different worlds, but they like each other''s looks. So begin the adventures of an unlikely pair, who find that learning new ways can bring unexpected delightes.

This is Joan Grant''s autobiography of her childhood and the development of her psychic talents and ability to recall earlier lives. It is a fascinating and breathtaking story which draws the reader vividly into the midst of her many rich and colorful experiences. It is poignant, charming, insightful, and inspiring -- and records in great detail how she came to write her novels. Like her novels, Far Memory is a treat. As The London Times put it, "Joan Grant is a writer with unique qualities...Her conceptions have originality and novelty; her style is simple and beautiful." Far Memory is a major contribution to new age biographies.

A sequel to Eyes of Horus. The story of Ra-ab continues, as does the effort to rid Egypt of corruption.

"Whether you approach it as a believer, a skeptic, or merely an open-minded individual just interested in the unchartered areas of human existence, Many Lifetimes is an unusual and disturbing book. Basically, it is about reincarnation. In a wider sense, it is a startling, fresh approach to physical and mental illness, uniting the thinking of an ''analytically-oriented'' psychiatrist with Joan Grant''s extra-sensory abilities, particularly the recalling of past lifetimes. Denys Kelsey, using hypnotherapy, found that many patients could be regressed not only to infancy but also to birth, to experiences while in the womb, and even to the moment of conception. Soon after he met Joan Grant, in 1958, he realized that by the use of the same hypnotherapy, he could enable some patients to extend their recall to earlier lifetimes. Joan Grant had developed a remarkable ''far memory,'' enabling her to recall in minute detail previous lives, male and female, lived in dynastic Egypt, America, Italy, England, and other places. Consequently she was sometimes able to help her husband''s patients by perceiving the relevant incidents of their earlier lives, thus providing independent checks on the accuracy of their recall. Some of the case studies described in this book rank among the most extraordinary in the history of psychotherapeutic medicine. The authors have achieved dramatic results in showing patients that the origin of their present problems often lies in the events in past incarnations. The authors fully recognize how controversial their beliefs may seem to some people. The success of their therapy offers convincing evidence of the validity of their approach on such diverse subjects as parenthood, dangers of jealousy, one-upmanship, the alarming insights of infants, and the causes and effects of ghosts."--front and back flaps.
