This book is perhaps the most comprehensive ever written about the English Wheats. The author has researched ancient records including manorial rolls, heraldic visitations, the earliest wills and church records to find as many references as possible to the Wheat name. The result is a fascinating story about the evolution of the Wheats from peasants in 14th century England to merchants, lawyers, landowners, baronets, other professionals, as well as to agricultural labourers and industrial workers, through to the end of the 19th century. The links to Shakespeare, the Churchills, the Titanic and royalty amongst others, and the origins of the Wheat name and coat of arms will be of interest to anyone who bears the Wheat name. The comprehensive family charts by town and county, some reaching as far back as the 16th century, will be useful to those who are researching their own English Wheat roots.

Wheat That Springeth Green, J. F. Powers’s beautifully realized final work, is a comic foray into the commercialized wilderness of modern American life. Its hero, Joe Hackett, is a high school track star who sets out to be a saint. But seminary life and priestly apprenticeship soon damp his ardor, and by the time he has been given a parish of his own he has traded in his hair shirt for the consolations of baseball and beer. Meanwhile Joe’s higher-ups are pressing for an increase in profits from the collection plate, suburban Inglenook’s biggest business wants to launch its new line of missiles with a blessing, and not all that far away, in Vietnam, a war is going on. Joe wants to duck and cover, but in the end, almost in spite of himself, he is condemned to do something right. J. F. Powers was a virtuoso of the American language with a perfect ear for the telling clich? and an unfailing eye for the kitsch that clutters up our lives. This funny and very moving novel about the making and remaking of a priest is one of his finest achievements.
