Ruth Fox Hume was born in New York City and attended the College of New Rochelle. She attended medical school briefly, where she discovered that she was more interested in the history of medicine than in its practice. The result was Great Men of Medicine (Random House, 1947, revised, 1961) and Milestones of Medicine (Random House, 1950). While she pursued her writing career, she taught at Holy Cross Academy and Catholic University. Some recent books include Our Lady Came to Fatima (Farrar, Straus, and Cudahy, 1957), Saint Margaret Mary (Farrar, Straus, and Cudahy, 1958), and Florence Nightingale (Random House, 1959). Mrs. Hume also writes book reviews for the Washington Evening Star. Paul Hume was born in Chicago and received a degree in music from the University of Chicago. He became music director of a “good music” radio station and then music critic of the Washington Post, a position he has held for sixteen years. He is a Professor of Music at Georgetown University and has been the director of the Georgetown Glee Club for twelve years. He is the author of Catholic Church Music (Dodd, Mead and Co., 1956), as well as many articles that have appeared in The Saturday Review, The Sign, The Catholic Digest, and others. THE LION OF POLAND is the first book on which the Humes have collaborated. They live in Washington, D.C., with their four children, Paul, Michael, Ann, and Peter. THE LION OF POLAND (Hawthorn, 1962) was designed by Stefan Salter and completely manufactured by American Book—Stratford Press, Inc. The body type is Linotype Janson, based on the letters of Anton Janson, a Dutch punchcutter who worked between 1660 and 1687. ABOUT CREDO BOOKS CREDO BOOKS Credo Books is an important news series of biographies that will appeal to both boys and girls. The subjects of these biographies are Catholic, but their stories are not of their faith so much as how that faith helped them to lead remarkable lives. Past and present will be represented here: a sculptor who left a priceless treasure of art to mankind, or a movie star who was an idol to young and old alike; the president of a South American country who fought against and lost his life to Communist terrorists. Heroes are made by the greatness of the human spirit and all the figures to be portrayed in Credo Books were great in spirit, courage and effort, no matter what task they took upon themselves. The authors of these new books have been carefully chosen both for their ability to make biography come alive for young people and their knowledge of their subjects. Such authors as Gary Webster, Lon Tinkle, Donald Demarest, Albert Orbaan, Terry Morris, Frank Kolars and Jack Steffan will be represented. To give Credo Books the benefit of their knowledge and experience, an editorial board of distinguished representatives from the fields of education, librarianship and the Catholic press, as well as Hawthorn’s own editorial staff, choose both subject and author for each book in the series. As an example of the variety of personalities in this new series, you will find the following figures portrayed. Operation Escape: The Adventure of Father O’Flaherty, by Daniel Madden To Far Places: The Story of Francis X. Ford, by Eva K. Betz The Lion of Poland: The Story of Paderewski, by Ruth and Paul Hume The Conscience of a King: The Story of Thomas More, by Margaret Stanley-Wrench Pen and Bayonet: The Story of Joyce Kilmer, by Norah Smaridge The Man Who Found Out Why: The Story of Gregor Mendel, by Gary Webster The Tall American: The Story of Gary Cooper, by Richard Gehman Wings of an Eagle: The Story of Michelangelo, by Anne M.
