A Child's Book of Saints (Canton)
Young people–boys and girls alike–will delight in these stories of the saints, many of which will be entirely new to them. The author of A Child’s Book of Saints has included popular Saints, as well as lesser known early Saints from Britain.
The author, William Canton, was a journalist, poet and an author of many books for children. His style in storytelling embodies the legacy of British literature going back as far as Shakespeare and beyond, lending a sophisticated air to prose that is simultaneously charming and accessible.
This edition of A Child’s Book of Saints has been painstakingly retypeset in exact imitation of the turn-of-century style of the 1898 original, and includes all the original illustrations including the original cover. A genuinely beautiful book.
