This is the eighth volume I have read in the 15-Minute Books series from Leaning Island. Learning Island seems to have had a number of different series, the 15-Minute Books, Fun Facts Books, other biographies, and books about place ancient wonders. This is part of a series tagged as 15-Minute Books, which are geared to get children reading for 15 minutes a day. Based on what I have read I do not believe the author is not Catholic, but it is a biography of a Catholic saints. The books I have read in the series have been hit or miss, some are excellent some were disappointing. This one a collection of all the biographies of Saints in the series.
The description of this volume is:
“Throughout history men and women have done incredible things. Some of these people have been recognized by the Catholic Church, and made into saints. But in the beginning these were just ordinary people going about their ordinary lives.
This compilation of 15-minute biographies tells the stories of seven saints and how they lived. Included are the full texts from the following books:
Saint Nicholas: The Man Who Became the Patron Saint of Children
Saint George: Dragon Slayer
Saint Valentine The Man Who Became the Patron Saint of Love
Saint Patrick: Ireland's Beloved Saint
Saint Francis of Assisi: The Patron Saint of Animals
Saint Joan of Arc: The Girl Who Fought For France
Mary MacKillop: Australia's First Saint
Find out more about these great people in this set of seven 15-minute biographies.

I have read and reviewed each of the volumes individually. And this edition has the 7 books in one collection. It has a working Table of Contents so you can jump to any specific book, or saint. When I reviewed these books they ranged between 2 and 5 stars. The price of this collection is much better than buying the seven volumes individually.
Saint Patrick Ireland Beloved Saint (3/5 Stars)
Saint George: Dragon Slayer (4/5 Stars)
Joan of Arc: The Girl Who Fought For France (5/5 Stars)
Mary MacKillop: Australia's First Saint (5/5 Stars)
The Lives of Seven Saints (4/4 Stars)
Overall I would say they are for the most part good quick introductions to each of the saint. I give this volume a 4 star review. It would be good but please see the few warnings in the individual reviews.
Note: This book is part of a series of reviews: 2024 Catholic Reading Plan!
