I give this “review” the unusual title because,
although it indeed began as something of a review of the book, All
Things Made New: The Mysteries of the World in Christ, on this the
first anniversary of his untimely death it ended up becoming far more a belated
tribute to an author I regret not discovering long ago, Stratford Caldecott, M.A. (Oxon.), FRSA (Friend of the Royal
Society of Arts). Known as “Strat” to his many friends, he was by all accounts
greatly beloved by all who knew him, or knew of him – ultimately even by superheroes!
Truly, the more I have learned about him in the past few months, the more I
have discovered in Stratford Caldecott a kindred spirit whom I would have loved
to have had a chance to meet over a brew or few. The conversation would
doubtless have been epic!
