====== SAMSON HIBBERT ======
{{:267885.thb.jpg|}}

Samson Hibbert (1760-1851) was a leading British [[Tarvuist]] scholar and writer. Hibbert was brought up in Nottingham, England, the son of a brass tap maker, before moving to Cardiff in Wales, where he really made his name.

Hibbert spread the word of [[Tarvuism]] through fiery speeches (he would literally set fire to his clothes and get undressed quickly before being burnt to show his faith). Hibbert also used to wear a rose in each of his pinholes, one on each lapel, and became known locally as 'Pinhole Hibbert'.

Hibbert wrote 13 books in his lifetime, his most famous being the 'Tim-miminny' series for children, about a little boy and his friendship with a religious talking bar of soap. He also produced a slim volume about framboise (raspberry liquer).  Hibbert died at the ripe old age of 91, after mistakenly drinking a pint of bleach.
