Patrick's life story is greatly simplified for children, but covers the essentials, and is illustrated in a style reminiscent of ancient times.
DePaola includes an afterward about his childhood visits to his Irish grandparents (his mother's parents). The book was a response to his mother's request.

(PS: St. Patrick was a Welshman.) ( )
