First Edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.; 116 pages; Description: xxi, 116 p. : ill., maps ; 26 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 110) and index. Subjects: Augustine, Saint, Archbishop of Canterbury (-604?) --Travel --Donaldson, Christopher --Christian pilgrims and pilgrimages --Italy --Rome --England --Canterbury. Summary: Christopher Donaldson settled in Canterbury with his parents and attended the King's School. In 1935 he was accepted for training for the priesthood by the Society of the Sacred Mission at Kelham, near Newark, and was there in the vintage years when T. S. Eliot was an occasional visitor. He was ordained by Archbishop William Temple in 1943. After curacies in the Canterbury Diocese he was appointed Recotr of St Mary in the Marsh, Romney Marsh, and then Vicar of All Saints, Birchington on the island of Thanet. In 1963 he was asked by Archbishop Michael Ramsey to take over the ancient church of St Martin together with St Paul-without-the-walls which stands beside the cathedral. As a child in Canterbury he had fallen in love with the River Great Stour which winds its way from Lenham, near Maidstone, through Canterbury to Sandwich and Ebbsfleet, and had spent many hours on and in it. As an adult he spent many hours walking along its banks, boating on it and painting its landscape. His books and folders on the walks along the Stour have led to it becomming one of England's long distance footpaths. During this time he realised he was following in the footsteps of St Augustine as he travelled from Ebbsfleet to go to Canterbury in 597. In spite of having suffered a stroke and a number of epileptic fits (now controlled) he made this journey on his own to Rome and back to Canterbury, and this very personal pilgrimage forms this book. He is a watercolourist and the drawings are all his own, made in sepia wash and line. 1 Kg. N° de réf. du vendeur 155785
