Saints by Amy Jeffs

Saints by Amy Jeffs is a visually stunning and lyrically written journey into the myths, miracles, and legends of Britain’s early saints. In this beautifully illustrated volume, Jeffs reimagines the stories of figures like St. Cuthbert, St. Hilda, and St. Brendan, blending folklore, medieval texts, and original woodcut-style artwork to bring their lives vividly to life.

Both reverent and radical, Saints celebrates the wonder, strangeness, and spiritual force of these iconic figures, making their ancient wisdom feel timeless and poetic.

Memorable Quote (from the book)
"To be a saint is not to be perfect it is to be profoundly human, and deeply brave."

Translation (Sinhala):
"සන්තයකු වීම යනු පරිපූර්ණ වීම නොව, මනුෂ්ය වීම සහ ධෛර්යවන්ත වීමයි."

Translation (Tamil):
"தூயவர் என்றால் நிரூபணமல்ல ஆனால் ஆழமான மனிதராய், தைரியமாயிருப்பதுதான்."
