Abbie Farwell Brown has gathered a number of anecdotes and legends of the friendship between saints and animals, and woven them into a delightful collection of tales that cannot fail to engage fans of folklore and Christian storytelling alike. Tales include "Saint Bridget and the King's Wolf," "Saint Gerasimus and the Lion," "Saint Keneth of the Gulls," "Saint Launomar's Cow," "Saint Werburgh and Her Goose," "The Ballad of Saint Athracta's Stags," "Saint Kentigern and the Robin," "Saint Blaise and His Beasts," "Saint Cuthbert's Peace," "The Ballad of Saint Felix," "Saint Fronto's Camels," "The Blind Singer Saint Hervé," "Saint Comgall and the Mice," "The Wonders of Saint Berach," "Saint Prisca," "The Fish Who Helped Saint Gudwall," "The Ballad of Saint Giles and the Deer," "The Wolf-Mother of Saint Ailbe," "Saint Rigobert's Dinner," and "Saint Francis of Assisi." "In point of manner they are original; the legends which form their ground-work have been expanded with much skill, and they are told in good 'story-telling' style. The illustrations are done in a very happy manner, and add great interest to the text." -The School Journal "The idea is a good one, and has been developed with imagination and skill." - The American Monthly Review of Reviews
