Solis Press are pleased to be able to republish Wallas’ seminal book on creativity that had sadly been out of print for many years.

Graham Wallas (1858-1932) was a social psychologist and educationalist who helped found the London School of Economics.

This edition is based on the first edition of 1926 and has been completely reset in fresh type.
