Book Review: Basil in Blunderland by Basil Hume

Basil in Blunderland is a collection of spiritual reflections that Cardinal Basil Hume discovered while playing a game of ‘hide and seek’ with two young children and each hiding place he was in became a setting for a discovery of something new about his spiritual life.

The title was chosen because as Hume put it “my spiritual life is more a wandering in Blunderland than resting and relaxing in Wonderland”.


I enjoyed this wee book as it made me think about things in light of my spiritual life and realised that what matters most in life is that our minds and our hearts should both be involved in our search for God, where the seeking and the finding go hand and hand.
