Book excerpt: Read David Farley's posts on the Penguin Blog.A tour through the centuries and through a bizarre Italian town in search of an unbelievable relic: the foreskin of Jesus Christ In December 1983, a priest in the Italian hill town of Calcata shared shocking news with his congregation: the pride of their town, the foreskin of Jesus, had been stolen. Some postulated that it had been stolen by Satanists. Some said the priest himself was to blame. Some even pointed their fingers at the Vatican. In 2006, travel writer David Farley moved to Calcata, determined to find the missing foreskin, or at least find out the truth behind its disappearance. Farley recounts how the relic passed from Charlemagne to the papacy to a marauding sixteenth-century German solider before finally ending up in Calcata, where miracles occurred that made the sleepy town a major pilgrimage destination. Blending history, travel, and perhaps the oddest story in Christian lore, An Irreverent Curiosity is a weird and wonderful tale of conspiracy and misadventure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Curiosities of the Church: Studies of Curious Customs Services and Records In writing this book, my desire has been not merely to produce an entertaining volume, but one of an instructive character, throwing light on the manners, customs, and everyday life of bygone times, which have a connection with the English church. It would be impossible to prepare a book of this class without having recourse to the works of other authors, more especially some of the older writers. I have tried, however, to render every acknowledgement to those to whom I am indebted for information. My best thanks are due to the Editors of the following periodicals for kindly allowing me to reproduce from their pages some of the articles I wrote for them, and which now re-appear here, viz., the British Workwoman, Chambers's Journal, Christian World Magazine, Home Chimes, and the Leisure Hour. A number of the papers were printed simultaneously in several leading provincial journals. I have only to add that if this volume meets with a welcome from the press and the public similar to that which has been accorded to my former works, I shall have every reason to feel grateful.
