The Oxford Dictionary of Saints is an excellent reference work on Saints of the Catholic Church. It is set out in a very clear, easy-to-use alphabetic format. The articles themselves are informative and nicely written with helpful references after each one. The appendices (e.g., calendar of principal feasts, principal patronages of saints and pilgrimage sites throughout the world) are also very interesting and useful. All in all, a very well done work. Kudos David Farmer & OUP!
