ST. THOMAS AQUINAS Ana the Preaching Beggars

A Catholic juvenile, this is the life story of St. Thomas Aquinas, a saintly intellectual and the most highly respected theologian and philosopher in the Roman Catholic Church. Told against a background of thirteenth century feudal, ecclesiastical and university events and customs, there's a fusion of facts with a selection of quasi-facts to render the fictionalized treatment consistent and logical. Studious youngsters who need affirmation of their own preferences in the face of juvenile or adult philistinism will find encouragement in this account of an intellectual hero.
