Leaves From The Golden Legend is a book written by H. D. Madge and published in 1899. The Golden Legend is a medieval collection of hagiographies, or stories of the lives of saints, compiled by Jacobus de Voragine in the 13th century. Madge's book is a selection of stories from the Golden Legend, retold in modern English for a contemporary audience.The stories in Leaves From The Golden Legend cover a wide range of saints, from the well-known figures like Saint George and Saint Patrick to lesser-known saints like Saint Euphrosyne and Saint Margaret of Antioch. Each story is told in a concise and engaging manner, with a focus on the saint's virtues and miraculous deeds.Madge's retellings of the stories are accompanied by illustrations by the artist W. J. Linton, which add to the book's charm and appeal. The language used in the book is accessible and easy to understand, making it a great choice for readers of all ages.Overall, Leaves From The Golden Legend is a delightful and informative book that provides an insight into the lives of the saints and the medieval world in which they lived.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
