Once upon a time Saints

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 admiration. Illustrated by Tom Matt. Our other saint biographies include Around the Year Once Upon a Time Saints and More Once Upon a Time Saints.
