The English Way is a nice collection of biographical essays covering English saints and other holy worthies, stretching from St. Bede to John Henry Cardinal Newman. The focus is probably on medieval luminaries, Because each essay is written by a different author, some famous like Chesterton and Belloc; others who were well-known then but have since faded into obscurity, they are somewhat uneven in quality, but none of them are truly bad. If you're looking to learn a bit more about English saints as part of devotional reading, this is a very useful volume to have. ( )
