Peggy Reynolds goes in search of the grandmother of the New Age - Madame BlavatskY. One of history's most enigmatic women, she played a part in opening Western minds to Eastern thought. Considered by her Victorian peers to be both sage and charlatan, philosopher and fraud, Blavatsky was a whirlwind of inspiration, causing a century of revolutions in the arts, politics and science, and entrancing everyone from Edison to Elvis. With stops in Bombay, London, New York and Nirvana, Reynolds removes the beguiling cloak of mystery from Blavatsky's epic writings and incredible life.
