Description

In a Quiet Village is a short story collection by Sabine BaringGould.

His family home, the manor house of Lew Trenchard, near Okehampton, Devon, has been preserved as he had it rebuilt and is now a hotel. He is remembered particularly as a writer of hymns, the bestknown being "Onward, Christian Soldiers" and "Now the Day Is Over". He also translated the carol "Gabriels Message" from the Basque language to English. BaringGould wrote many novels, including The BroomSquire set in the Devils Punch Bowl (1896), Mehalah a story of the salt marshes (1880), Guavas the Tinner (1897), the 16volume The Lives of the Saints, and the biography of the eccentric poetvicar of Morwenstow, Robert Stephen Hawker.
