This is an indifferent edition of a worthy publication, the verses of Hilaire Belloc, he of the best Christmas card lines of all time: "May all my enemies go to hell - Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!" But make no mistake; Belloc was a Christian of the most humble, eloquent, deeply felt and believed faith. His view of the world is here revealed in small - love, sorrow, pity, compassion, outrage, grief, yes, but also great joy and unquenchable trust in the eternal mercy of our Creator.
