Young people-boys and girls alike-will delight in these stories of
the saints, many of which will be entirely new to them, as the
author has brought out several stories of less-well-known early
British saints. An early companion to the popular Child's Book of
Warriors, this book was also published under the title "W.V.'s
Golden Legend "in the United States.
""The Saints are here treated with a simplicity that is altogether
childlike, and with an unforced imagination which is only to be
learnt by becoming as a child. And this is perhaps why, although
comparatively a new book, it has the air of something pleasantly
old, and written long ago; and thus wins its way into the
children's library of old favourite authors."
-From the Editor's note to the 1906 Everyman's Library Edition by
J.M. Dent & Sons."
William Canton was a journalist, poet and an author of children's
books such as "The Invisible Playmate" (1894), "W.V., Her Book
"(1896/97), and" A Child's Book of Warriors "(1912). His style in
storytelling embodies the legacy of British literature going back
as far as Shakespeare and beyond, lending a sophisticated air to
prose that is simultaneously charming and accessible.
This book has been painstakingly retypeset in exact imitation of
the turn-of-century style of the 1898 original, and includes all
the original illustrations including the original cover.

into the court of Queen Elizabeth. We travel with him as he pursues

spends the last years of his life. Includes the fabled story of the
velvet cloak and the role Raleigh played in introducing potatoes
and tobacco to the Old World. One of the volumes in the highly
acclaimed Children's Heroes series, first published at the
