About This Item
This insanely prolific English novelist, folklorist, hagiographer, antiquarian, scholar, travel writer and Anglican priest during his free time reputedly authored some 1,240 works -- but today is remembered as author of the hymn "Onward, Christian Soldiers." ANS, 1p, 4½" X 7", Lew Trenchon, near Devon, 19 May 1907. Addressed to Mr. Routhi. Very good. Lightly age toned, with faint mounting traces. "I am very much obliged to you," he writes, "what you tell me helps me very much." He continues: "I send you my last book just out for your Masters Club & reading room. It will interest the men more than Pabo...." Boldly signed. His "last book just out" would be his 1900 nonfiction release "A Book of Dartmoor," and "Pabo" references his 1899 novel "Pabo the Priest." Clearly, Baring-Gould thinks men would prefer a book of travel and exploration over a yarn about King Henry Beauclark's rule with his beautiful wife.
