THE AUTHORS AND THEIR BOOK
Ruth Fox Hume was born in New York City and attended the College of New Rochelle. She attended medical school briefly, where she discovered that she was more interested in the history of medicine than in its practice. The result was Great Men of Medicine (Random House, 1947, revised, 1961) and Milestones of Medicine (Random House, 1950). While she pursued her writing career, she taught at Holy Cross Academy and Catholic University. Some recent books include Our Lady Came to Fatima (Farrar, Straus, and Cudahy, 1957), Saint Margaret Mary (Farrar, Straus, and Cudahy, 1958), and Florence Nightingale (Random House, 1959). Mrs. Hume also writes book reviews for the Washington Evening Star.
Paul Hume was born in Chicago and received a degree in music from the University of Chicago. He became music director of a “good music” radio station and then music critic of the Washington Post, a position he has held for sixteen years. He is a Professor of Music at Georgetown University and has been the director of the Georgetown Glee Club for twelve years. He is the author of Catholic Church Music (Dodd, Mead and Co., 1956), as well as many articles that have appeared in The Saturday Review, The Sign, The Catholic Digest, and others.
THE LION OF POLAND is the first book on which the Humes have collaborated. They live in Washington, D.C., with their four children, Paul, Michael, Ann, and Peter.
THE LION OF POLAND (Hawthorn, 1962) was designed by Stefan Salter and completely manufactured by American Book—Stratford Press, Inc. The body type is Linotype Janson, based on the letters of Anton Janson, a Dutch punchcutter who worked between 1660 and 1687.
