Rough Rhymes of a Padre (1918)

Willie Woodbine Willie,Geoffrey Anketell Studdert Kennedy

Rough Rhymes Of A Padre is a book of poetry written by Woodbine Willie, a British army chaplain during World War I. The poems are a reflection of his experiences on the front lines, and are often humorous and irreverent. The title of the book is a nod to the fact that Woodbine Willie was known for handing out cigarettes (or ""woodbines"") to soldiers in need. The poems cover a range of topics, including the horrors of war, the camaraderie of soldiers, and the role of religion in times of crisis. Despite the serious subject matter, the poems are often light-hearted and playful, and are written in a style that is accessible to a wide audience. Rough Rhymes Of A Padre is a unique and important contribution to the literature of World War I, and offers a glimpse into the experiences of soldiers and chaplains during one of the most tumultuous periods in human history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
