A Book of Quaker Saints

"A Book of Quaker Saints" by L. V. (Lucy Violet) Hodgkin is a collection of stories for children from the early 1900s that explores the lives of important early Quakers, emphasizing their strength, determination, and beliefs while facing hardship. Beginning with a young girl named Lois, the story begins with her wondering what it means to be a saint after seeing a beautiful stained glass window in church. She thinks about what it takes to be called a saint and wants to know how someone earns that title. Her questions reveal her curiosity, her observations of church traditions, and her difficulty getting clear answers from the grownups in her life. The reader is set up for stories that will highlight the traits and experiences of historical Quaker people, sharing lessons about courage, religion, and inner goodness, as taught by George Fox and others.
