BLOG C.W. LEADBEATER (1854-1934)


Gregory John Tillett is the biographer who has researched Charles Leadbeater most extensively. He wrote the book "The Elder Brother," and his doctoral dissertation was also a biography of Leadbeater. However, Tillett explained that he had much information left over that he didn't include in his works, which is why he decided to share it on his blog.
