The first biography of the Indian silent teacher and spiritual master Meher Baba (1894-1969), written by the British author, drama critic, town planner and economist Charles Purdom (1883-1965). The two first met by chance in 1931, whilst Purdom was on holiday in Coombe Martin, Devon and Baba was on his first visit (of three) to England. On Baba's second visit, in 1932, he asked Purdom, now a devoted follower who had already written two substantial books on the garden city movement, and was currently editor of the literary journal 'Everyman', to write his life. This volume covers Meher Baba's life from 19111936. A second volume, 'The God-Man' was published in 1964. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
