BERNADETTE OF LOURDES by Frances Parkinson Keyes

BERNADETTE OF LOURDES

By

Publisher: Messner

Companion volume to Therese: Saint of a Little Way, this spiritual biography, too, is now reissued, in new format with ten new illustrations, and a foreword which tells of Mrs. Keyes' original visits to Nevers and Lourdes- and her return visits last summer. The old title, The Sublime Sheperdess, has been dropped, though the text of the story of Bernadette is, I believe, unchanged. In the warmth and passion of the telling, the story has a human as well as a spiritual appeal for Mrs. Keyes' public, as well as for the increasingly important Catholic audience.
