Overview

This book chronicles F. W. Boreham's pilgrimage to the birthplaces and homes of many great English and Scottish writers and his communion with them as the young writer recalls quotations and thoughts from their books. His pen romps over the pages as he writes about the topics which would become some of his lifelong themes history, literature, faith, heroism, royalty, and the charms in everyday life. Boreham's ability to paint a picture, tell a story, and uncover fascinating detail is evident on every page.

Praise for the Print Edition

Of the books that have played the greatest role in molding me, I count many volumes by especially one writer: F. W. Boreham. He authored more than fifty books of essays and pastored congregations in New Zealand, Tasmania, and Australia. He was not the classical preacher, not even a profound, deep preacher, but he was marvelous at seeing beauty in the simple things of life. He heeded John Wesley's charge to young preachers to blend simplicity with sublimity, 'the strongest sense in the plainest language.'

—Ravi Zacharias
