The Mary Baker Eddy Library

This guide to the Mary Baker Eddy Library in Boston centers on a strange 1907 lawsuit against the eighty-five-year-old founder of Christian Science, after a New York newspaper had branded her senile. Her own son and grandchildren, named in court as her next friends, asked a New Hampshire court to strip her of control over her fortune and the copyright to her book. You'll hear how three court-appointed masters climbed the steps of her estate to question her themselves, and what an independent psychiatrist concluded. Step into the Mapparium's stained-glass globe and try a whisper across its thirty feet.
