During Adrian Leak's time as a parish priest, he wrote many monthly `letters' for the local parish magazine. His inspiration was the wide and colourful experience of life as a country parson, and the wish to share his reflections with non-believers as well as believers. Following the success of his Adrian's first collection, Nebuchadnezzar's Marmalade Pot, his new book, Archbishop Benson's Humming Top comprises sixty brief essays adapted from sermons as well as articles previously published in the Church Times.
