With droll insight, he highlights the very human foibles that find their way into the lives of monks and nuns in the rarified environments in which they live. Choleric received the praise of everyone from his fellow monks to literati like Evelyn Waugh. Contributor Bio: Choleric, Brother Dom Hubert van Zeller (d.1984), a far-from-boring monk of Downside Abbey, had prodigious talents which have given joy to many a monk, though perhaps some heartburn to an abbot or two. He was very gifted sculptor, with a clean and distinctive style that breathes the air of Ditchling. He was a popular spiritual writer whose works are still in print. Yet for those who were not his immediate brethren at Downside, he is most memorable for his books of caricatures published under the pseudonym Brother Choleric. Contributor Bio: Van Zeller, Hubert Fr Hugh Somerville Knapman, Order of Saint Benedict, Douai Abbey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 66 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"About Comics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46476534448259,"sku":"9781949996081","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9781949996081.jpg?v=1770278851","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/9781949996081","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
