"The Vaudois of Piedmont: A Visit to Their Valleys" by J. N. (John Napper) Worsfold is a historical narrative that chronicles the author's voyage through the Waldensian valleys in the late 1800s, as Worsfold, a dedicated minister, set out with a fellow pastor on Easter Monday in 1871. Their journey paints a vivid picture of the stunning Italian countryside while revealing the profound history, trials, and unwavering spirit nestled within the Vaudois community, noted for their enduring Protestant faith and their historical suffering amid many religious oppressions. The author's lens highlights their past torments, emphasizes the new political and religious freedoms they earned in recent years, celebrates leaders within the Waldensian Church, all while blending a travelogue with a celebration of a sturdy religious inheritance.
