`To the student of the early history of Christianity in these islands this book and the other works of Canon Doble are indispensable.' (Orthodox Observer)
`...the most valuable section of the present volume is Simon Evans's lengthy introductory essay. Its outstanding merit is that it collects together and summarizes succinctly almost everything that has been written on the Age of the Saints in Britain in modern times...we have in this essay the most comprehensive, scholarly, and well-balanced summary of existing knowledge in this field that has yet appeared. It should be read by all who wish to understand not only the background of the lives of these five pioneers in the Christianization of Wales, but also the whole background of this difficult, yet extraordinarily important period in our history.' (Studia Celtica)
