Did you know there is a patron saint for warts? Have you always
believed that saints were good all the time?
Perhaps you imagine they spent all their time praying and never got
cross or lost their temper?
Well, then, The Little Book of Irish Saints may hold some surprises
for you. Read about Saint Gobnait and her bees and how she used them
to fight off a gang of robbers. Learn how Saint Columcille got blamed
for a great battle and how Saint Valentine, who is not even Irish,
claimed his place as one of our well-loved saints.
