Bolton: Ross Anderson, 1985. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from some light foxing to top edge) with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. xiii + 281 pages. 43 illustrations. This book is not about hymns or their tunes - it sketches the lives of the writers of many of the best-loved hymns - a very mixed bag, stretching in a ribbon of history from the first Christians, through the Classical and Dark and Middle Ages, to modern times. They include a tinker, a pedant, an architect, a fern collector and fisherman, a reformed slave-trader, an ambassador, besides novelists, gaolbirds, monks, poets, philosophers, several Saints and many sinners. Some like Charles Wesley and the blind American Fanny Crosby, wrote literally thousands of hymns. Other characters include the Bishop who was appointed for refusing his lodgings to Nell Gwynn; the only Poet Laureate to die hiding from his creditors in the Royal Mint; An Independant minister who accidentally strangled a highwayman; an eccentric squarson whose work included 'Widdicombe Fair' as well as 'Onward, Christian Soldiers'. The many illustrations include portraits of the men and women included, as well as pictures of places where they lived and worked and copies of their hymns from some of the early collections. The author is the Rector of Penshurst. Includes a newspaper review of the book.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
