Von Reuter (d. 1985) was an American composer and violinist - a child prodigy, giving his first professional concert at the tender age of 10.  He was also author of several books on spirit mediums and mediating communication with familiar spirits and the dead - a skill which he claimed to have inherited from his mother.  This volume recounts some of his psychic conversations with, for instance, Nicolo Paganini and Emile Zola.
