A Quaker Conscientious Objector contains the letters kept in a hitherto private family collection, supported with a contextual introduction and an epilogue, explanatory lists of Wilfrid’s correspondents and friends, and his reading lists. Wilfrid’s letters bring to life the realities of conscience, military discipline, and early twentieth-century prisons. The letters are uplifting and engaging, vividly telling the story of hope through faith, books and nature, alongside the daily endurance of prison conditions in wartime Britain.
Wilfrid Littleboy went on to hold national Quaker leadership positions. His experience as a CO helped sustain in British law the right to conscientiously object to war, and influenced Quaker discernment on conscription and conflict during the Second World War and beyond.
