Many legends, stories and traditions have grown up over the centuries about Ireland's most famous saint. But what was he really like? George Otto Simms goes back to Patrick's Confession and other writings to separate the man from the myth. The result is a vivid story of a man of great strength and courage, his adventures and trials, told in a way that will appeal to all ages.
