Douglas Bond wrote four Mr. Pipes books between 1999 and 2005. The series opens with Mr. Pipes and Psalms and Hymns of the Reformation, then follows with Mr. Pipes and the British Hymn Makers (2000) and Mr. Pipes Comes to America (2001). The titles suggest a character who guides readers through the history of hymns, moving from the Reformation era to British hymn writers and eventually to the American tradition.
The fourth book, The Accidental Voyage (2005), arrived four years after the third entry. Readers who want to follow the full story of Mr. Pipes should start with the 1999 debut and read forward in publication order, since the books build on one another.
