A gem of a book on one of our greatest Saints!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
There are several biographies extant on St. Catherine of Siena, most notably by her spiritual director, Blessed Raymond of Capua, and an excellent volume written by Alice Curtayne, both available from TAN books. But my own favorite is a trim volume by F. A. Forbes, part of her seven books on Catholic Saints. Terse but extremely piognant. The author was a dramatist and a religious, making this volume a literary gem. The illustrations in this book, done by I don't know whom, also glitters. Loved it. You will too.
