内容简介 This work explores the lives of the saints, and the hierarchies of angels. It gives details of the lives and works of the most famous saints from around the world. The different types of angels are introduced, including guardian and fallen angels, and each of the most famous angels has their own page devoted to them. The book includes most of the well-known saints - from the Apostles and John the Baptist, to St Joan of Arc, St Bernadette and St Patrick - and the famous archangels - Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. As well as outlining each saint's life story and the work of the angels, there are also details of their feast days and patronages. A calendar of feast days is also included.
作者简介 Claire Llewellyn is one of Britain's best non-fiction authors for young children. She has won many children's literary awards, and 100 Years of Cinema and Ships and Boats in Kingfisher's Kaleidoscopes series have both earned much critical praise. Claire lives in Hertford, England.
编辑推荐 From Booklist
Gr. 3-6, younger for reading aloud. This is similar to other books on saints--an oversize format, museum artwork (here brilliantly reproduced), handsome design. But there's something special about it as well. Perhaps it's the simplicity of the writing or the fact that angels are also introduced. The book begins with a short introduction, "What is a Saint?" Then the saints are grouped together--the Holy Family, Jesus' followers, gospel writers, martyrs, thinkers, and saints associated with peace and healing, such as St. Francis. The better-known saints get a two-page spread with a full-page picture. Less familiar names are accorded one page, with the artwork as an inset. A border records each person's particular symbol, dates, feast day, and the group he or she watches over. The angels have their own section at the book's conclusion, with guardian angels and the choir of angels getting a group description, and individual angels, such as Michael, a separate presentation. A glossary and a list of feast days are appended. Ilene Cooper

The elegant volume offers accessible, simple text introducing more than 30 saints and angels, as well as illuminating reflections such as "What Is a Saint?" all accompanied by excellent reproductions of fine art.  Children's Literature 
Gold-edged pages, a blue ribbon bookmark, heavenly blue and gold endpapers, and a see-through book jacket printed with saints and angels make this an attractive gift book for young people and adults.
