'These stories,' the author explains, 'are meant to show human and lovable people whose mysterious passion for God led them into preposterous escapades.' With an eye on the taste of a child for concrete detail and no apologies for 'the embroidery of legend,' each tale, in a style akin to fairy-tale, sets forth the unique qualities of a Genevieve, a Felix, a Dorothy, or Comgall-16 real saints brought unforgettably to our attention and fond admiration. Ages 5 & Up. Reading Level: 6th grade.
