The man who loved books

By Jean Fritz

Subjects: Juvenile literature, Biography, Books and reading, Saints, History, Christian saints

Description: "Basing her narrative on legendary material, the author has told the story of the sixth-century Irish saint Columba. . . . The telling is direct and spirited, lilting and sensitively balanced, encompassing the bardic and the royal traditions of ancient Ireland as well as the joyful zeal of the saint".--The Horn Book.
