This is a revised book of children's short stories by Margaret Hurdman. They are all fully illustrated in colour by the late Norman Taylor.

The gift of mediumship is bestowed upon few people. One of these is Margaret Hurdman, a truly remarkable lady who, in this extraordinary book allows us a special insight into her life as well-known medium. She takes us on a fascinating journey; from a loving family upbringing, through childhood illness and personal tragedy, to the incredible happening during open heart surgery which was to change her life. We follow Margaret through the years as she enthrals us with her amazing tales of communication with the spirit world. These accounts are very moving, testifying to her all embracing sympathy for people in distress. Her gift has brought comfort and hope to the bereaved, young and old, and has eased their loneliness and pain by proving beyond doubt that there is life after death and that love endures beyond the grave. Margaret used to travel internationally bringing people into contact with their loved ones from the spirit world. Margaret the Person is her first book, simply written, thought-provoking, and full of compassion. The incidents she relates are all the more credible due to her matter of fact way of telling them.

Author and internationally acclaimed psychic medium Margaret Hurdman was bestowed the gift of Mediumship in her early thirties after open heart surgery, during which time she 'died' several times. The operation changed her life, not only physically, but also by opening her contact with the Spirit World. Since that time, she has brought comfort and hope to many who have lost their loved ones and helped those troubled spirits finally to find peace and comfort in their own world. By doing so she proves beyond doubt that there is life after death and that love endures beyond the grave. Margaret tells of many contacts, which she has experienced, from meeting a young World War One pilot who was killed in landing his plane in Ireland, to a party of a dozen Vikings who broke the door of her bedroom and marched out of the window on their way to the Spirit encampment. Not only does she record every details of their dress but remembers how much they smelt Her services are eagerly sought and she travels internationally to demonstrate her gifts and bring people into contact with the Spirit World. Her own very personal story is full of compassion and yet is simply told., but also by opening her contact with the 'Spirit World.'
