A princess who was saved from marrying by miraculously growing a beard, a saint who sat on a pillar for 20 years, another who survived being swallowed by a dragon, a girl who sailed to Cornwall on a leaf after missing the boat - these are some of the characters in this astonishing book, alongside the more famous St Francis, St George and St Christopher. Richard Brassey�s inimitable mix of pictures, captions and deadpan narrative is irresistible and rescues from oblivion some wonderful stories that children will relish.
