St. Patrick’s Journey by Calee M. Lee
Depending on your beliefs, you might want to take the assertation that this book is a “true story” with a grain of salt…
On the other hand, with St Patrick’s Day coming up tomorrow, how could I not review the story of Saint Patrick the Wooden Peg! What an absurd concept for a book, but a clever one.
Aimed at children (obviously), you get quite a lot of information mixed in with the religion, and the book finishes with a map and coordinates so readers can look up the real locations mentioned once they’ve finished reading.
Better than I expected.
