A <i>Field Guide to the Saints: The Traveller's Illustrated Handbook To Church Art</i> provides a fun and easy way to identify the saints found in churches and museums, and to learn their stories.<p>
Especially designed for travellers visiting southern Europe (but relevant anywhere that saints are found), this book allows you to solve the mystery of "Who is that saint?". It's a thrill to decode these images using the easy-to-read identification "clue list," and doing so can make visits to churches and museums a truly fun experience, a game anyone can play. </p><p>
If you are headed to Europe, bring this delightful, authoritative, and practical book along! You'll love reading the stories of the saints. The material is engaging and slightly irreverent, but always informative. </p><p>
