Recenzii

Title mention in The Observer, January 2008
Extract in The Times.
"Prof. Garner includes a short but learned introduction which gives the history of the broadcast and the editorial difficulties involved in producing this most welcome publication, one that recalls not just a beloved poet but the Christian heritage of these islands." Contemporary Review, October 2009
"...in this slim volume...you are re-entering a world where Sundays were actually days of rest, and the dear old C of E was firmly planted at the heart of the community." Church Times, 28 November 2008
