V. 1 Collected Works of St. Teresa of Avila: The Book of Her Life, Spiritual Testimonies, Soliloquies, Vol. 1
This book has Teresa's autobiography. It is very interesting but kind of wordy, lots of tangents, and reflections. It makes it sometimes hard to follow. Worth a read, but I read it along a biography which helped me track what was going on, without getting lost in her descriptions.
The vividness of her visions and experiences of prayer, makes this book a delight to read. The fact that her early confessors thought she was possessed shows their struggle to come to terms with a woman whose prayer life was unlike anything they had ever seen. She saw Jesus (or felt his presence) heard voices, fought off devils with holy water, had a vision of hell, levitated, and was frequently lost in contemplation of God.
Kind of makes you wonder what your impression of this woman would be if you met her
