About this book
A Child's Book of Saints is a book by William Canton. The editor's note says A Child's Book of Saints was first published in 1898. The editor's note also says the Saints are here treated with a simplicity that is almost or altogether childlike.
The text tells how monks in the days of old had travelled over the land with the relics of saints, collecting treasure of all sorts for the expense of the work. The text says Spinalunga means a Long Spine or Ridge of rock, and that the castello or little walled town which bore that name was built on the highest peak of the ridge, inside strong brown stone walls with square towers. A story tells that Rheinfrid lived for eight long years in the quiet of the cloister, striving to be patient and to await God's own time.
