Summary

"This book sets out to discover the real St. Patrick from his own writings, which are included in full at the end of the volume, and to separate fact from fiction." "The author also traces the dramatic and colourful story of the City of Armagh where St. Patrick established his main church, and which has long been recognised universally as the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland."--BOOK JACKET.
