About the Book

George Fox and the Children of the Light provides a vivid portrait of an important and extraordinary figure from history whose legacy still flourishes.

Born in 1624 and never formally educated, George Fox was a visionary, denouncing humbug and proclaiming the Inner Light as he journeyed through seventeenth-century England. Reviled and revered, Fox incited riots as often as he inspired devotion. Yet from his network of sympathetic souls grew the Religious Society of Friends, popularly known as the Quakers.

Writer and broadcaster Jonathan Fryer, himself a well-known Quaker contributor to Radio 4's 'Thought for the Day', has edited Fox's journal to sustain its narrative thrust and reveal its social and spiritual influence. He supplements the journal with a selection of Fox's Epistles and his own illuminating introduction to the man and his times.

This book makes Fox's journal and works accessible to a much wider audience and is a must-read for anyone with an interest in religious/spiritual thought and history.
Praise for George Fox and the Children of the Light: 'George Fox and the Children of the Light is valuable as an illustration of the amazing religious ferment of the mid-seventeenth century, when preachers like George Fox could attract huge crowds in market places and churchyards' - The Tablet
'Jonathan Fryer has skilfully edited this version, with a useful introduction, so that Fox springs from the page' - Church Times
'The quality of Fox's spiritual counsel shines through. Jonathan Fryer's Introduction races along, mostly painting in useful historical background' - The Friend

Born in Manchester in 1950, Jonathan Fryer spent his childhood summers in Wales fighting asthma and boredom, becoming an avid reader and collector of books in the process. After ten years of travelling around the world, he settled in London in 1982 and became a regular contributor to BBC radio. His books include biographies of Christopher Isherwood and Dylan Thomas.
