Review of a fascinating work by John A. Shaffer. His book about St
Winifreds Well in Flint****re raises a number of spiritual issues of
vital significance in the modern age as well as being a fascinating
read for antiquarians and lovers of Wales everywhere.

"Wales may have more long-ago saints than any comparable acreage in
the world. Either the Welsh were exceptionally holy, or their
descendants had unusually generous memories! My sense is that we are
finally outgrowing the unyielding rationalism that stripped so many
modern lives of wonder. We can hear about St. Dwynwen resuscitating
her frozen lover and notice the divine compassion in her story instead
of the improbable details. We are enriched." John A. Shaffer
