“In these pages Miss Underhill ... reintroduces to English readers a cycle of old sacred tales in which their ancestors took much delight. The Mary-legends, or ‘Miracles of our lady,’ form a group of religious romances, the connecting link being that the Virgin Mary supplies in each of them the supernatural element.... Miss Underhill has made a good selection, with much diligence, of some of the happiest and quaintest of what she terms ‘the fairy tales of mediaeval Catholicism.’... The incidents selected vary in character from the crudely sensational to the depths of mystical devotion; and they extend in time from the fourth to the fifteenth century.”—Ath.
