Mary Fabyan Windeatt was known as “the storyteller of the saints.” In the 1950’s and 60’s, she wrote over twenty histor­ical fiction novels on the saints, bringing to life these holy men and women for young readers across the world.

TAN Books now offers these companion workbooks to her be­loved novels. Each workbook is meant to test your student’s reading comprehension, instruct them on matters of the Catholic faith, and bring them closer to each of these great saints. Through engaging and fun activities like crossword puzzles and word searches, as well as through essays and challenging multiple choice questions, they will come to better know the content and sanctity found in each story.

This workbook accompanies Saint Rose of Lima: The Story of the First Canonized Saint of the Americas. Rose was the tenth of thirteen children, and received her name due to her natural beauty. But instead of living a worldly life, she practiced heroic charity, caring for the sick and poor. She has captured the imagination of the world and stands as one of the most popular saints in the history of the Church.
