This classic account of the missionary life of James Hannington has delighted generations of readers. Written by an enthusiastic exponent of the mission field, this account has stood the test of time to become a recognized icon of the genre. The first Anglican Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Hannington was reared in a not untypical English setting, eventually being schooled at Oxford. The first part of this homage is dedicated to his pre-missionary activities, the churches he served and the early intimations of his missionary interests. The second part of the book, encompassing a much reduced chronological period, focuses on the bishop’s missionary journeys to Africa. His remarkable accomplishments and savage martyrdom are narrated with poignancy and empathy. A moving account of a man willing to risk all for his convictions, this missionary story appeals to popular readers and those interested in the European presence in Africa.

Edwin Collas Dawson (1849-1925) was a Scottish minister and writer. He studied at Oxford and served parishes at Hale, Sandgate, and Edinburgh, where he eventually became Canon.
