Bernadette of Lourdes

In recent years there has sprung up enormously widespread interest in events which had their beginnings in the little Pyrenean town of Lourdes in February 1958 and resulted in a series of miraculous cures which are still taking place at the present time...Bernadette Soubirious was indeed a remarkable person, she was a girl of great sweetness and simplicity. Mr Keys tells with great vividness the amazing story of this peasant girl's life: of her troubled early childhood; of the apparations which made Lourdes and herself so famous; of her discovery of the spring which is the instrument of such extraordinary curative powers; of the subsequent nation-wide uproar; of her entry into a convent; her early death, and finally her canonization in 1925.
