I just finished this book about eight (8) apparitions of the Blessed Mother:
- Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico (by Ethel Cook Eliot)
- The Lady of the Miraculous Medal [Paris] (by Rev Joseph I. Dirvin, C.M.)
- The Lady in Tears [La Salette] (by Msgr. John S. Kennedy)
- Bernadette and the Beautiful Lady [Lourdes] (by Frances Parkinson Keyes)
- Our Lady of Silence [Knock Ireland] (by Mary Purcell)
- The Lady of the Rosary [Fatima] (by Msgr. William C. McGrath)
- The Virgin with the Golden Heart [Beauraing Belgium] (by Don Sharkey)
- The Virgin of the Poor [Banneux Belgium] (by Robert M. Maloy, S.M.)
At the beginning of each story is an illustration by Paul Galdone. In addition to the eight stories, the book contains a lengthy introduction by the editor, John J. Delaney, to provide context and explain the selections. At the back of the book are biographical sketches of the authors.
The book was published in 1960 by Hanover House, a division of Doubleday & Company. The hardbound book has 240 numbered pages.
I obtained my copy of the book from a used book sale. Inside the front end piece is a stamp that indicates it is from the Library of the Sisters of St Joseph.
I actually started reading this book around Saturday Dec 17, 2018 while waiting at a car dealer for an oil change for my vehicle. Every morning thereafter, I read a little bit.
