Long ago, deep in the mists of time, one man burning with love for Christ changed the course of Irish history. The story of Saint Patrick of Ireland, as told and illustrated by Zachary Lynch, veers from the usual legends of shamrocks and leprechauns, and recounts the true story of Saint Patrick—from his kidnapping and enslavement as a young man, to his death as a revered bishop of the Irish people. Taken mainly from his book of Confessions, these tales draw out the deeply Christian aspects of Saint Patrick’s life. The colorful Celtic illuminations with iconic elements will captivate readers of all ages. For children ages four and up.

This review is from: The Life of St. Patrick: Enlightener of the Irish (Hardcover)
The life of Saint Patrick is brilliant, but simple in this colorful page turner. The illustrations depict celtic art style mixed with eastern iconography. There are pictures within pictures. Wonderful color. The story line is one that all ages can enjoy and follow. A must have for the bookshelf.
