Synopsis
Gives concise accounts of the lives, cults, and artistic associations of about 1,100 saints who lived or died or have been venerated in Great Britain and Ireland, or who lived in the English-speaking world. The new edition contains more early martyrs, more Eastern (Greek and Russian) saints, and some saints recently canonized.

Review
this delightful array . . . the sort of thing that gives hagiography a good name. (The Times)
compulsive reading (The Tablet)
excellent and readable (The Guardian)
Even those who do not believe in saints . . . will be able to enjoy and to profit from this splendid book. (Economist)
