Legends Of Saints And Beasts

Printed and illustrated in full color, this is a very delightful book for children from ages 7 to 11 and beyond. These four legends, Saint Jerome and the Lion, Saint Roch and the Dog, Saint Francis and the Wolf and Saint Macarius and the Hyena, based on source material, have been retold with dignity and reverence in a simple easy-to-read text, and presented in the style of the beautiful old illuminated manuscripts. Anne Marie Jauss has an original talent, marked by faultless draughtsmanship, a perfect sense of design and color, a deep understanding of nature, and quiet delightful sense of humor.
