Those who have met Jacques Henry will know his talent as a storyteller.  It is recognised in this account, so rich in characters: his parents re-united, the guardians who were teachers, the countryman who employed him at fourteen, René who would become his lifelong friend, and many others - not forgetting the neighbours, caretakers and owners of the houses where Jacques worked as a gardener.

When diagnosed with cancer his first reaction was rebellion. Gradually the faith which had been firmly established through experience took over, and he was amazed at all that God had given him.

Jacques Henry shows an artist's eye in the photographs he took of the mountains, and the inner sensitivities of a poet when expressing his deepest emotions.

This is a portrait of a charming man - a life with a difficult start, but which reveals incomparable riches.
