About the author
James H. Rawlinson is an author about whom little public information is available; his nationality, dates of birth and death, education, and professional career are not clearly recorded. According to the available records, only one work by him, Through St. Dunstan's to Light, is held. Judging from the title, St. Dunstan's is often associated with the church and related institutions of that name in London, so the book may concern the recovery and return to light of the blind or wounded, and may have a personal or documentary character. Because further material is lacking, it is not possible to assess his writing style or later influence; readers can only glimpse from the title the theme he attends to: seeking light and hope amid hardship.
