A Childs Book of Saints was first published in 1898 when Mr. Canton hadalready found his audience. The book is a near successor indeed to his W. V.Her Book and to The Invisible Playmate and W. V. again acts as guardianelf and guide to this new region of the childs earthly paradise. The Saintsare here treated with a simplicity that is almost or altogether childlike andwith an unforced imagination which is only to be learnt by becoming as a child.And this is perhaps why although comparatively a new book it has the air ofsomething pleasantly old and written long ago and thus wins its way into thechildrens library of old favourite authors. «
