“The interest of the book centers around two great tragedies: the fall of Thomas the archbishop, and the fall of Thomas the martyr. These are bound up with a part of a still greater tragedy: the collapse of a grand religious movement, which, with all its human imperfections and short-comings, had done a noble work for those who had needed it most, the poor, the weak, the suffering.” The text has been improved by many illustrations of churches, shrines and relics, and sketches of the “pilgrims’ way.”
