The stories of saints and sinners alike populate the pages of this
unique book for children. Under the author's loving touch, these
enchanting tales come alive with scenes of old Italy, from the poor
but generous Saint Zita in her native Lucca to the captive Turkish
Princess Stellante and her beloved Bartolo in prosperous Venice.
Each of these widely varied characters must face their own struggle
against the selfish desires of this world in order to achieve true
happiness, both here and in the hereafter. The watercolors by
Katharine Cameron add infinite charm, and new illustrations enhance
the captivating history of these legends and stories.
UNDINE is the name of the water maiden whose story you will read as
you turn the leaves of this little book.***Undine is beautiful as
the dawn stealing across the waters, beautiful as the spray of the
crystal waves.***Yet when she comes to earth she comes to seek for
that without which her beauty will be for ever cold, cold and chill
as the surge of the salt, salt sea.
