The last full-scale biography of St. Thomas More to be written by a Catholic was that of Fr. T.E. Bridgett , and while the success of Professor R.W. Chambers' biography show that there is a wide non-Catholic public interested in St. Thomas More, a need has been long felt for a modern standar life, written by a Catholic and making use of new material that has come to light since Fr. Bridgett published his great work. Mr. Reynolds has, we think, written such a Life. This book opens with with a chapter on 'The Household of Sir Thomas More,' based on the Holbein Sketch which is reproduced in the text.
