I am DREADFULLY behind on reviewing books for grown-ups around here, and will try to start remedying that this evening. But I want to tell you about the fabulous volume that just arrived in the mail. Pub date is 1/3, but the Amazon page indicates it’s available now:

Marking the Hours: The English People and Their Prayers 1240-1570 by Eamon Duffy, author of The Stripping of the Altars, Faith of Our Fathers, and others. It’s a beautiful book, lavishly illustrated.
