Send to friendUrsula Synge has a marvellous way with legends; it's a mystery why her superb retellings and reworkings haven't found their way into paperback yet. These fifteen tales of saints are told with great case and humanity, accompanied where appropriate by touches of humour and poetry. Whether well-known like St George or less familiar like St Wulfric of Somerset or St Mochae of Ireland, each saint has a story that reads aloud naturally. A godsend (that must be the right word) to all teachers.
