Around the Year Once upon a Time Saints

Ethel Pochocki, whimsically and unforgettably, presents a new set of  heavenly friends to readers young and old in this third collection of Once Upon a Time Saints stories. Beginning in the dark of December, the start of the Church Year, there are stories and poems for each month, all bursting with saintly — not to mention angelic — deeds and happenings. Each tale or verse — whether of mystical apparitions in a tiny Irish village or of friars who float in the air or of entire countries single-handedly converted to Christianity — makes it quite plain that heaven doesn't keep to its place at all, but is happily determined to spill over into earthly life — here, there and ... all around the year.
