Joseph Hocking is the Lutheran Librarian’s favorite Christian novelist. Though mostly forgotten now, during his lifetime he was widely read and greatly beloved throughout the English speaking world. Most of his books deal in some way with the struggles and conflicts of living as a Christian in the modern world.

The Lutheran Library is republishing many of Joseph Hocking’s novels. If you are willing to provide copies of any of Hocking’s 50 “lost” books, please contact us.

The Mist on the Moors is one of Joseph Hocking’s early novels and a great story of early Cornwall, UK. Enjoy!
