"This book relates briefly the life-stories of sixty-eight saints of the Prayer-Book Calendar (1662 and 1926), excluding the Apostles and Evangelists.Historical sources supply the facts as much as possible, legend plays the lesser part, although legends can witness to the truth and may well warm and substantiate a character which is merely outlined by historical evidence. I have tried to see these men and women in the setting of the ordinary day-to-day life of their times, not as persons set apart or dissimilar from ourselves to-day, since the progress of time works no change in the basic stuff of humanity nor in the ultimate purpose of its creation." - Preface, Stars Appearing: Lives of Sixty-Eight Saints Of The Anglican Calendar
