Description
The Book of Saints & Heroes - Andrew & Lenora Lang - Voyage Classics (Paperback)
Immerse yourself in a collection of legendary stories where saints fought dragons, talked to centaurs and healed troubled beasts.

In this book you will encounter not only St. George and the Dragon, but also St. Columba and the Loch Ness Monster, St. Francis and the Wolf and St. Jerome with his friendly lion.
You will also marvel at the holiness and extraordinary charity of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, St. Margaret of Scotland and St. Vincent de Paul.
