She attended medical school briefly, where she discovered that she was more interested in the history of medicine than in its practice._ _The result was_ Great Men of Medicine _(Random House, 1947, revised, 1961) and_ Milestones of Medicine _(Random House, 1950). While she pursued her writing career, she taught at Holy Cross Academy and Catholic University._ _Some recent books include_ Our Lady Came to Fatima _(Farrar, Straus, and Cudahy, 1957),_ Saint Margaret Mary _(Farrar, Straus, and Cudahy, 1958), and_ Florence Nightingale _(Random House, 1959). Mrs. Hume also writes book reviews for the Washington_ Evening Star. Paul Hume _was born in Chicago and received a degree in music from the University of Chicago. He became music director of a “good music” radio station and then music critic of the Washington_ Post, _a position he has held for sixteen years. He is a Professor of Music at Georgetown University and has been the director of the Georgetown Glee Club for twelve years. He is the author of_ Catholic Church Music _(Dodd, Mead and Co., 1956), as well as many articles that have appeared in_ The Saturday Review, The Sign, The Catholic Digest, _and others_. THE LION OF POLAND _is the first book on which the Humes have collaborated. They live in Washington, D.C., with their four children, Paul, Michael, Ann, and Peter._ THE LION OF POLAND _(Hawthorn, 1962) was designed by Stefan Salter and completely manufactured by American Book—Stratford Press, Inc. The body type is Linotype Janson, based on the letters of Anton Janson, a Dutch punchcutter who worked between 1660 and 1687._ [Illustration: A HAWTHORN BOOK] ABOUT CREDO BOOKS [Illustration: CREDO BOOKS]
