What a blessing it is for our children to be able to learn about the saints. With all the once-upon-a-time charm and long-ago beauty of the classic fairy tales, this set of books is sure to delight your children. As I read these books at bedtime, I found myself saying, “And did you know this princess is real? This is a true story!” My girls lit up as they discovered that these stories really happened, and I saw the little wheels of memorization turning in their head the way they do when they encounter a great new story and learn it by heart. This is a set originally published in 1961, so the stories contain a whimsical vocabulary and are complimented by classic Golden-book style illustrations. In fact, each story inside could stand alone as a little treasure and book of its own. !["Book Notes: Saint Books for Boys and Girls" by Kaitlyn Mason (CatholicMom.com)](http://catholicmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/A-Precious-Set-of-Saint-Books.png) Copyright 2018 Kaitlyn Mason.
