The wearing of the green, bands playing, flags waving—this is the spirit of St. Patrick's Day. Mary Cantwell goes back fifteen hundred years to explain the origin of St. Patrick's Day, and how Patrick became a much-loved saint. She also tells how his day has been celebrated over the years by different countries.
There are many legends of St. Patrick, but it is the truth about him that proves his greatness.
Ursula Arndt's lively illustrations add the right touch of Irish gusto to this engaging book.
