Bethlehem Books, 1998 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 89 pages
Here are yet more of "those human and lovable people whose mysterious passion for God led them into preposterous escapades." Story-teller Ethel Pochocki presents a follow-up collection of wildly distinctive saints from Hyacinth to Zita to Longinus to Kentigern and readers will again be charmed by the vivid immediacy of their settings. We find out what very real people they were, these saints who lived and breathed in a world as enticing and as changeful as our own. Yet their heroism is all their own. Ethel Pochocki leads us through their adventures, joys and sorrows to the truly happy ending each one gained. Ages 5 and up."

About the author (1998)

Ethel Pochocki described herself as "an ordinary person" who happened to "make soup and raise kids and write stories." Both kitchencraft and the experience of raising children—eight of them, now grown up—contributed to a whimsical, down-to-earth and understanding touch that caused her stories to make ready friends. Ethel Pochocki wrote books, tales and articles for both children and adults. Though born in Bayonne, New Jersey, she lived for many years in Maine, where she concocted adventures with the ordinary but vivid ingredients of life—"books, cats, music, frogs, hollyhocks." Out of her lifelong insight into the way facts mix with fancy and heaven mingles with earth, came Once Upon a Time Saints, More Once Upon a Time Saints, Around the Year, Once Upon a Time Saints, and Saints and Heroes. Ethel Pochocki died on December 1, 2010 at the age of 85.
