Review
Beasts And Saints is a compilation of stories taken from the Desert Fathers and the Celtic Saints, first translated and made available by Helen Waddell more than fifty years ago. In Beasts And Saints readers meet a range of creatures, from lions and hyenas, otters and hares, to a mouse, a fly, a frog, all of whom are given their own voices. Their relationships with saints such as Columba, Jerome, Cuthbert, and Simeon Stylites, portray the holistic spirituality of the early days of the Christian heritage, a time when miracles were commonplace and Christian legend came to life. Beasts And Saints will not only fir reader imaginations, but also inspire them to recover something of the wholeness of the Christian tradition that has been lost in our increasingly secular world. Striking woodcuts by Robert Gibbins add an iconic flavor to the whole world. Beasts And Saints is a prized and welcome addition to the Christian bookshelf. -- Midwest Book Review
