The Boyhood of Martin Luther; or, The Sufferings of the Heroic Little Beggar-Boy Who Afterwards Became the Great German Reformer

In The Boyhood of Martin Luther, Henry Mayhew gives a fresh, detailed account of Martin Luther’s childhood. Mayhew explored and lived among the scenes of Luther’s childhood for two years to absorb the culture and customs. This volume attempts to correct longstanding biographical fallacies and delves into the circumstances that shaped Luther’s childhood and, consequently, his life.
