An original approach to an appreciation of The Book of Common Prayer. Norman Taylor has produced an anthology of passages from English literature, both fiction and non-fiction, that include references to The Book of Common Prayer. Arranged in chapters according to the order of services, the extracts range from books as diverse as Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With The Wind", Dorothy L. Sayers's "The Nine Tailors", "The Collected Poems" of Stevie Smith, and "The History of Mr Polly" by H.G. Wells. The book has been written to appeal to those who love The Book of Common Prayer in the hope that they will enjoy discussing what its services have meant to others and how much mention is made of them in our literature. Anyone who enjoys anthologies will also find this book of interest, together with those who love literature and God, but who have not been brought up on The Book of Common Prayer. They will begin to discover and enjoy the literary and spiritual genius of Crammer, Coverdale and Tyndale.
