The Book of Saints & Heroes, by Andrew Lang and Lenora Lang
originally published by Longmans, Green, & Co. in 1912. This 2006
edition by Sophia Institute Press contains minor editorial revisions
and an abridged preface. The first Christians to visit Europe and
British Isles met pagans who told tales of fairies, talking beasts, and
other wonderful things. To these marvelous stories, they soon added new
ones about the Christian saints. Some were true, others improbable,
and many simply fantastic. In the ones we include here, you'll meet the
saint who spent seven Easters on a whale's back and the amiable lion
who was St. Jerome's friend. You'll see St. George fight the dragon,
and you'll read about the fierce wolf St. Francis of Assisi converted.
But many of these stories have in them scarcely a wave of the fairy
wand. So you'll also find here true tales of great saints such as St.
Louis of France, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Francis Xavier, and St.
Elizabeth of Hungary--souls marked by courage, kindness, and piety.
These marvelous legends and exciting true stories of Christian saints
and heroes will provide many hours of delightful reading to believers
and non-believers alike. 320 pp. Hardcover.
