The Penguin Dictionary of Saints (1965)

An alphabetical reference book with the lives and legends of more than 750 saints.

Genial, witty, and informative. It should be noted that the author writes from a Roman Catholic perspective, so that, among others, the considerable Anglican calendar of saints goes unmentioned. ( )

Read in Mexico 2009 San Miguel, Guanguato heavily biased in favor of English saints at the expense of Mexican as even Our Lay of Guadalupe

A guide to major and minor saints of the Catholic and Orthodox churches.

Just from dipping into it, I found it accurate and even-handed. ( )
