FW Bourne used only extracts from Billy’s Journal when writing about Billy in his famous book The King’s Son, first published in 1871, and from the few that he used he omitted many fascinating details. These are told in full in Billy Bray In His Own Words.

Billy Bray wrote his Journal in a style that makes his account much more vivid than Bourne’s rather formal rewording. The Journal is presented exactly as Billy wrote it, but with corrected spelling and added punctuation.

Many of Bourne’s memories and collected stories about Billy in The King's Son are repeated in Billy Bray In His Own Words.

Entries concerning Billy from the unpublished diaries of a local schoolmaster give an enthralling insight into the way Billy talked to the people he met, as well as telling small details from his sermons.

This is the only book about Billy Bray that contains his whole Journal - In His Own Words.
