[From front jacket flap] First published anonymously nearly one hundred years ago, this experiment in historical fiction, by the convert daughter of a Church of England clergyman who later became the foundress of the Poor Servants of the Mother of God, won its place immediately as a standard Catholic story not unworthy to rank with Cardinal Wiseman's Fabiola, and the reception accorded a new edition issued in the 1920's proved that it had not lost its charm for the young people of a later generation. It is concerned with the life of Blessed Edmund Campion and others of the English Martyrs and was highly thought of by the late Fr. Philip Fletcher, who considered it had done pioneer work in promoting devotion to them. This new edition of a book long out of print has been entirely reset.
