5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent review of the life of this lovable saint, February 27, 2001

Fabio Guarnieri (Redwood City, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Thomas More: A Portrait in Courage (Hardcover)

Excellent review of the life of More from the points of view of his virtues, esp. courage. I love the chapter describing how he educated his children, how he cared his family, and at the same time how he managed to write books and be excellent profesional. The original fragments of his letters were well balanced in the text.
