Description: EDMUND CAMPION HERO OF GOD'S UNDERGROUND By HAROLD C. GARDINER, S.J. Illustrated by Rose Goudket From the moment the gay, handsome Father Campion stepped jauntily off the boat at Lon- don that day in 1579, he knew that danger was everywhere around him. Queen Elizabeth had made herself the head of the Church, those who defied her were executed, and priests traveled secretly from one Cath- olic family to another, knowing that each hour might be the last. This is the story of Edmund Campion's dangerous work among the Catholics of his beloved England, of the loyal young men- the members of the Catholic Club-who guided the fugitive priests through the coun- tryside, of young William Harrington who followed his hero even to death on the scaf- fold. Only God knows the number of Englishmen whose faith and imagination were stirred by the spirit of Father Campion as he went on to welcome hardship, imprisonment, even martyrdom. Now he is called Blessed Edmund Cam- pion-and so the glory of God shines around one who died the death of a criminal but reaped the reward of a saint.
