This story is of a visit to Heaven, in the form of a day trip by bus for those in Hell. There are several conversations which the author overhears, between Spirits and Ghosts. His guide to the heavenly regions in this dream is George MacDonald. The whole book is a comment on MacDonald's warning: 'No, there is no escape. There is no heaven with a little of hell in it - no plan to retain this or that of the devil in our hearts or our pockets. Out Satan must go, every hair and feather'. **Will be well-packed for posting/shipping**. 8vo.
