Sir Wilfred Grenfell is a biography written by Genevieve Fox about the life and achievements of Sir Wilfred Grenfell, a British medical missionary who dedicated his life to improving the health and living conditions of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada. The book chronicles Grenfell's early life in England, his decision to become a medical missionary, and his journey to Newfoundland where he established a network of hospitals and clinics that provided medical care to the local communities. The book also explores Grenfell's efforts to improve the economic and social conditions of the people in the region, including his work to establish co-operatives and promote education. Throughout the book, Fox provides a detailed account of Grenfell's life and work, drawing on a range of sources including personal letters, diaries, and interviews with people who knew him. The book offers a fascinating insight into the life of a man who dedicated his life to helping others, and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Sir Wilfred Grenfell.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
