Margaret By Sister M. Juliana of Maryknoll. Illustrated by R. M. Sax. This captivating story is not just about Kings, Queens, princesses, galantry, heroism, courtship, love of the poor, homeless and sick, it is also true! And the heroine is a canonized saint! Princess Margaret had blue eyes and long golden hair. She had dresses of silk and velvet, and a little crown of gold and jewels. She was not a fairy-tale princess but a real one and, what is even better, she was a saint. Margaret married King Malcolm and became Queen of Scotland. She had eight children and she brought in priests for her people, had churches built, and started schools and hospitals; she brought up nine orphans with her own children and somehow she found time every morning to serve breakfast to twenty-four very poor people! She is the special saint for all the Margarets and Peggys, Marguerites and Marjories, and a very nice saint for anyone to know. Handsomely illustrated, 60 lb. cream paper, sewn signatures, 6-1/2”x8-1/2” size, 56 pages. |
