An early companion to the popular Child's Book of Warriors, this book was also published under the title \u003ci\u003eW.V.'s Golden Legend \u003c\/i\u003ein the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e\"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.\"\u003cbr\u003e -From the Editor's note to the 1906 Everyman's Library Edition by J.M.

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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Canton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 193663922X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936639229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Augustine Academy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.61d","brand":"William Canton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44634588414207,"sku":"9781936639229","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3920cb9e-1a87-45a8-8fb1-36506145fa06.jpg?v=1703590006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-childs-book-of-saints-william-canton-9781936639229","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
