About the Author
Manly P. Hall was the founder of the Philosophical Research Society. In over seventy-five years of dynamic public activity, he delivered more than 8,000 lectures in the United States and abroad, and authored countless books, essays, and articles. In his lectures and writings, Manly Hall always emphasized the practical aspects of philosophy and religion as they applied to daily living. He restated for modern man those spiritual and ethical doctrines which have given humanity its noblest ideals and most adequate codes of conduct. Believing that philosophy is a working tool to help the individual in building a solid foundation for his dreams and purposes, Manly Hall steadfastly sought recognition of the belief that world civilization can be perfected only when human beings meet on a common ground of intelligence, cooperation, and worthy purpose.
From the Back Cover
This elusive volume, written in Mr. Hall's youth, has been unobtainable for over fifty years. Only one limited edition was ever issued, and when occasional copies appear on the shelves of antiquarian book dealers they command a substantial premium.
Usually categorized as fantasy fiction or science fiction by these dealers, the collection of tales contained in Shadow Forms was actually used by Mr. Hall as a vehicle for portraying some of the occult mysteries of life under the guise of entertaining fantasy.
This new limited edition contains six previously unpublished illustrations prepared long ago for the reissue of the book by J. Augustus Knapp, illustrator of Mr. Hall'' classic book, The Secret Teachings of All Ages.
