1. The Knox Brothers
A concise, affectionate family portrait of four remarkably individual brothers raised in a strict, clerical household, following their divergent lives as scholars, churchmen and a witty magazine editor, and the one who famously converted to the Roman Catholic priesthood; through lively anecdotes and dry humour the narrative reveals their rivalries, loyalties, private eccentricities and public achievements, illuminating the moral world of early 20th‑century English ecclesiastical life with sympathy and sharp observation.
