From St Fillan of Munster, patron saint of the mentally ill, who
read by the light of his miraculously glowing arm, to Santa Lucia,
who tore out her eyes to dismiss the lascivious attentions of her
would-be husband, here are nearly two hundred classic stories of
the saints of Christian legend. Richard Coles, former half of 80s
pop duo The Communards, now a Church of England priest and
presenter of Radio 4's Saturday Live, has collected these wonderful
tales from around the world. Despite their bizarre, colourful and
sometimes grotesque stories, many of these saints are still
celebrated and prayed to today. Every page illustrated by
cartoonist Ted Harrison, giving the book a saintly Horrible
Histories feel.
