An early companion to the popular Child's Book of Warriors, this book was also published under the title \u003ci\u003eW.V.'s Golden Legend \u003c\/i\u003ein the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e\"The Saints are here treated with a simplicity that is altogether childlike, and with an unforced imagination which is only to be learnt by becoming as a child. And this is perhaps why, although comparatively a new book, it has the air of something pleasantly old, and written long ago; and thus wins its way into the children's library of old favourite authors.\"\u003cbr\u003e -From the Editor's note to the 1906 Everyman's Library Edition by J.M. Dent \u0026amp; Sons.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e William Canton was a journalist, poet and an author of children's books such as \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Playmate\u003c\/i\u003e (1894), \u003ci\u003eW.V., Her Book \u003c\/i\u003e(1896\/97), and\u003ci\u003e A Child's Book of Warriors \u003c\/i\u003e(1912). His style in storytelling embodies the legacy of British literature going back as far as Shakespeare and beyond, lending a sophisticated air to prose that is simultaneously charming and accessible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book has been painstakingly retypeset in exact imitation of the turn-of-century style of the 1898 original, and includes all the original illustrations including the original cover.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"St. Augustine Academy Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50476275794194,"sku":"9781936639229","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_7e14942e-d2cb-4263-bedd-f4805ae36ff4.jpg?v=1730247385","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/a-childs-book-of-saints-9781936639229","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
