The Book of Saints

Rating:
Summary: This lavishly illustrated book is lovely to look at . . .
Review: This book has beautiful photographs of stained glass depicting various saints. The stained glass is from different time periods, from medival to present day and the photographs of them are of excellent quality. Most of the stained glass is from Britian, France, Germany, and Ireland. The book goes through various saints, gives a summary of what we know about them, shows a window depicting the saint, and maybe talks a bit about the window itself. The book also deals with various events such as the Annuciation and All Saints Day, and will show stained glass depicting these events. The text is pretty concise, and very easy to read. My only big complaint this book is that it is too short, and even some major saints are missing. It would truly be a remarkable book if it was more exhaustive and if it went into more detail about the stained glass windows shown.
