This is the 1960 first US edition published by Hawthorn Books, New York, with the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, meaning it carries official Catholic Church approval. It covers 64 saints of the Western Church from the first century through the twentieth, including St Patrick, St Joan of Arc, St Bernadette, St Thomas of Canterbury, and Mother Cabrini, the first American-born canonized saint. Illustrated throughout with period drawings. The original library card and pocket from Vista Maria School in Detroit are still tucked inside.
