***Few books in the history of the world have been in continuous print longer than “Foxe’s Book of Martyrs.”***

And fewer yet contain such outright fabrications and distortions.

Foxe’s Book of Martyrs is popular for the same reason the New York Post is popular: fantastic pulp fiction is more interesting than dreary old facts.
