Summary: Great resource, lacks entertainment
Review: This is an excellent reference book, providing basic biographies for more than 100 saints. Where else would you be able to look up the feast days of the patron saints of beekeepers? The artwork is also attractive, though I'd prefer more of it.Unfortunately, this work does not come near the quality of Morgan's second book, "The Devil." Perhaps it is the subject matter, but the material in "Saints" is much less entertaining. That said, I still recommend this book as a great reference (and maybe a good source for baby names :)
