The horror bestseller of the 1500's: Fox's Book of Martyrs
These are the horror stories of the Catholic inquisition that people would read for entertainment with their little candles. It is definatly a piece of work that paints that catholics in a bad light. One reads of people such as Willian Tyndale who was burnt at the stake for translating the New Testement into English so that the common man could read it. Or John Bunyan the author of 'A Pilgrims Progress' who was arrested for preaching without a license.

Got woken up by the dog and then couldn't sleep, so I have now spent a happy 1/2 hour skim reading your blog! Very interesting stuff Jenni, and well recorded....
