Illustrated by Kathy Holbrook Here are yet more of "those human and lovable people whose mysterious passion for God led them into preposterous escapades." Story-teller Ethel Pochocki follows up her book Once Upon a Time Saints and presents another collection of wildly distinctive saints - from Hyacinth to Zita to Longinus to Kentigern - and readers will again be charmed by the vivid immediacy of their settings. We find out what very real people they were, these saints who lived and breathed in a wold as hard, as wet, as hot, as enticing and as changeful as our own. Yet their heroism is all their own. Ethel Pochocki leads us through their adventures, joys and sorrows to the truly happy ending each one gained. Review: Amazing stories of rare saints! - This is a great series we own all the books! My oldest just can't get enough of these stories - so we limit it to two at bed time. Some of these stories are so hilarious and well written that I can't wait to re-read them. If you looking for a way to share the saints with you kids that makes the saints jump off and come to real life - then this is the book for you! I am sure you will find a new favorite saint in each of these books who will inspire you and make you smile the whole day through! Review: Wonderful Stories - These saint stories are enjoyable and my three year old looks forward to them every night. The stories include fictitious parts and some silly modern elements, but it is done lovingly so. I much prefer these stories over some other offerings which are dry, "just the facts, mam" style.

Wonderful Stories
These saint stories are enjoyable and my three year old looks forward to them every night. The stories include fictitious parts and some silly modern elements, but it is done lovingly so. I much prefer these stories over some other offerings which are dry, "just the facts, mam" style. J.M.J.

As good as the first one
Be sure and buy both books. They are great stories. This one is particularly good for Lent. St. Longivinus? I (apologize on the spelling) first Roman soldier convert at the foot of the cross is a great story. His feast day is during Lent as well.

Excellent Catholic Saints Book
Excellent series of books with short, engaging, readable chapters on some familiar AND less-well-known saints. Works well either as a read-aloud or individual silent reading. Definitely a valuable purchase for the shelves of our Catholic homeschool library!

Gave this to our goddaughter as a present, and she loves it. She begged to get the 2nd one too! Highly recommend as it tells the stories in an interesting and captivating way.
