The author covers thoroughly the growth of the 'movement' and organization, their missionary efforts in America, and long-term impact of "the Religious Society of Friends" & its compassionate arm, the American Friends Service Committee. All will benefit from the author's solid research, and sympathetic telling of an involved story about a person with extreme eccentricities. Few authors have 'tackled' this subject since the publication of Jane Yolen's book. After you read this young adult biography of a great spiritual leader, you may concur with William Penn's assessment that "GEORGE FOX WAS AN ORIGINAL, BEING NO MAN'S COPY."
