Sister Wendy's Book of Saints
YA-Sister Wendy presents illuminated images and histories of 35 saints selected from the artwork of the Italian State Libraries and describes their attributes and personalities based on traditional information. The artwork depicts each saint in a dignified role, minimizing any overly obvious examples of personal suffering. The author expounds upon the religious virtues and deep Christian beliefs of the saints, allowing her strong spiritual views to pervade the text. The art is outstanding both in selection and in the color reproductions. A "Calendar of Feast Days" lists saints for almost every day of the year. Picture credits are included. This visually appealing and informative title is an outstanding enhancement to religious collections.Pam Johnson, Fairfax County Public Library, VACopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
