Book Overview

""Passages in the Life of the Faire Gospeller, Mistress Anne Askew"" is a historical account of the life of Anne Askew, an English Protestant who was burned at the stake for her beliefs during the reign of Queen Mary I. Written by Anne Manning and first published in 1866, the book chronicles Askew's early life, her conversion to Protestantism, her trial and imprisonment, and her eventual execution.
