Description
All children delight in verse and this book, which tells the story of twenty-six Saints in rhyme, will be welcomed by all.
The excellent drawings give great scope for children of an artistic bent while the rhymes are readily learned by heart. The familiarity that is established with famous Christian names inevitably fosters a desire for further knowledge later on.
From the Preface:
THE twenty-six SAINTS in this volume of rhymes
Lived in various places at various times;
But now they're together in Heaven, and know
All we think, say and do in the world here below;
And since all that you ask-if you pray for good ends-
Will be granted by GOD at the prayer of His friends,
You should call on these SAINTS in the days of your youth
For the Peace of the Church and the Triumph of Truth.
We hope, as these Rhymes are the best we can do,
That the SAINTS will be pleased, and that you'll be pleased too.

Robert Hugh Benson (1871 - 1914) was an English Anglican priest who in 1903 was received into the Roman Catholic Church in which he was ordained priest in 1904. He was a prolific writer of fiction and wrote the notable dystopian novel Lord of the World (1907). His output encompassed historical, horror and science fiction, contemporary fiction, children's stories, plays, apologetics, devotional works and articles. He continued his writing career at the same time as he progressed through the hierarchy to become a Chamberlain to the Pope in 1911 and subsequently titled Monsignor.
