…ncarnation, co-authored with Erlendur Haraldsson, is available from Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. The first two thirds of the book is by Erlendur.

There are about 1700 solved children’s cases in the collection at the University of Virginia and several hundred have been published.

Stevenson’s mother’s commitment to Theosophy sometimes has been presumed to have been the source of his interest in reincarnation, but this introductory section makes clear that although Theosophy had the general effect of acquainting him with a dualistic conception of mind and body and alerting him to the possibility that mental states imp…
