Harry Price

Courtesy of the SPR Facebook page, here's a short Movietone News film from 1935 entitled "Psychical Research" featuring Harry Price, billed as "Honorary Secretary, University of London Council for Psychical Research". Price - then in his James Randi rather than his Uri Geller mode - shows off his library and laboratory, and even produces Joanna Southcott's box and rummages through its contents:

Gef was the subject of a well received book by Christopher Josiffe, and has his own Wikipedia page, website and blog.

Mysterious Universe has an article on a new book on Gef the Talking Mongoose, which seems to be a reprint of the original text by Harry Price and Richard Lambert with additional material. (Helpfully, the article has a lengthy extract from Britannica.com explaining what "Isle of Man" means, for those who don't know.):

Reviews of the book on Amazon could be described as "mixed." Three are full of praise, but the fourth says:
"This is a terrible (and legally dubious) reprint of Price and Lambert's original 1930s book. The supplementary material is atrocious, poorly-researched bilge. The whole enterprise stinks of opportunism."

I wondered myself about the copyright situation. Last year was the 70th anniversary of Price's death - 70 years after death being the UK copyright criterion - so perhaps that is what's prompted the reprint. But his co-author, Lambert, survived until 1981 (according to Wikipedia), so the original book is very much still in copyright, even in the UK.

I recently came across Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's, often terse, letters to Harry Price. They are available here.

Harry Price included a chapter, My Struggle with Conan Doyle, in his Leaves from a psychist's case-book.
