 * //Patrick: Patron Saint of Ireland// by Tomie dePaola**

In re-creating the life of this popular figure, dePaola has separated his narrative into two sections: the first, a biographical account of Patrick's life; the second, a compilation of legends. The uncluttered illustrations are reminiscent of murals in their emphasis on essential elements of the narrative. The whole is a well-executed treatment of an appealing subject. (Horn Book)
