Frances Ridley Havergal: The Girl Who Loved Mountains (Trailblazer Biographies)

Her feet weren’t the only part of her that climbed – her voiced soared too.

 

As a little girl, Frances (Fanny) loved to climb trees, enjoy the countryside and to run about with her spaniel. The mountains of Switzerland inspired her and she loved hiking on the steep slopes. She became a hymn writer and singer, longing to share the love of her Saviour. Books flowed from her pen at a later stage, often beginning as bedtime stories for her nephews and nieces.
