To write Mavis Pittilla’s biography is an author’s dream. She reached the pinnacle of success in her field and she is beloved and respected by many. Best of all from a literary standpoint, her little-known back-story reveals a multi-faceted, endearing main character whose life follows the quintessential hero’s journey. Our protagonist faced and ultimately overcame tremendous adversity, much of it caused by her own human frailties, resulting in great personal growth and transformation.

I described Mavis in my book as “The Grande Dame of Mediumship in England,” and it is a highly deserved designation. I quickly understood why so many people think so highly of Mavis. Each time she shared the wisdom gleaned from decades of personal experience as one of the world’s top mediums and teachers, I sat on the edge of my seat, soaking up every captivating word. Her teaching comes straight from the heart, delivered always with modesty, igniting the souls of all those blessed to learn from her.
