Llewellyn, Claire. Saints and Angels. Illus. by great artists. Boston : Kingfisher, 2006. ISBN 0-7534-5906-X.

The pearlesque blue paper of the gilded dust jacket and pages and the Renaissance saints imprinted on the cover are only the beginning of a quality, small-sized encyclopedia of fascinating information and stunning reproductions of great art. Invitingly designed to fit on the hands with the feel of a prayer book, Saints and Angels devotes a page to each of 46 saints, from Mary to America 's three female saints. Several pages are devoted to angels, including fallen ones. A Calendar of Saints' Days, a Glossary, and Index enhance a beautiful book full of stories of extraordinary human beings.
