Despite betrayals along his dangerous path and ultimately facing death by Tyburn gallows, Campion remained loyal to both his Queen and faith until his martyr's death.

Brilliant book, wonderful saint

I absolutely devoured this book. The author has a lovely way of writing that fits perfectly with the zealous and scholarly Saint whose life he chronicles. Great for perspective on things in our dark times.
