In this inspiring collection of hymns, prayers, songs and poems in honour of the Virgin Mary, Margaret Miles has drawn together many of the finest Christian compositions in prose and verse from all centuries, from liturgical and non-liturgical sources.

Many of the pieces in this book have been devoted to the Mother of God over the centuries. Here, uniquely, they are brought together in their original language (mainly Latin) or in the vernacular. The book therefore fills a significant gap in devotional literature.

With interest in Mary growing in all mainstream Christian churches, this delightful collection should appeal to readers of all denominations.

Margaret Miles grew up as an Anglican and was drawn to the Blessed Virgin Mary by the influence of two priests and an Irish midwife. She became a Catholic in her thirties. Now retired, she lives in Lewes, Sussex.
