This short, readable biography of St. Elizabeth, which comes just in time for the eighth centenary of her birth (1207-2007), is the first one based on original up-to-date research to be published in English in more than 50 years. It also includes an English translation of the testimonies given by her closest friends at her canonization process, along with newly-discovered testimonies never before translated into English; and a section of prayers, litanies and scriptural passages for private meditation or group celebrations.
