Caught napping

"Caught Napping" by Anonymous is a comical tale that pokes fun at religion and explores what happens when a 19th-century Anglican priest magically wakes up in ancient Roman catacombs. The story centers on Edward Starch, who, after dozing off, finds himself surrounded by early Christians who mistake him for a martyr. As he tries to understand his strange situation, Edward clumsily deals with the differences between his Anglican beliefs and the old rituals he encounters. The book cleverly uses humor to question religious traditions as Edward defends his views and tries to return to his own time, leading to a sudden awakening where he realizes everything was just a bizarre dream.
