‘Very strange. I was staring at a spot on a book shelf and then all of sudden a small figure, princely, popped out. After a moment it receded. It really seemed like a little fellow. I like the idea of spirits but I’ve never seen something so material, I’ve always taken the idea to be like shadow or imagination.’ ‘Like a small prince, a bit ‘Maxfield Parrish’-like.’
