My Mom had one when I was a kid... and she and I have looked at her house to find it without success. I think it must have been one that is published now without that many pictures? But I remember colored pictures and a beautiful colored hardcovered book.

Several in German. Last year was an anniversary...400 years???? I can't remember exactly

.
If you want to check out amazon.de and type in Heilige Elisabeth. (Notice the S instead of Z) you will find children and adult books.

Elisabeth

This is the one we have in Germany. I would also recommend the book written by the von Kettelers.

Sara, just this evening I was remembering fondly Nesta deRobeck's biography of St. Elizabeth of Hungary. It is such a deep book. It's not a picture book though. I hope you don't mind that I mentioned it here. I thought it was uncanny to see a request for a book about St. Elizabeth after I had all those warm fuzzies.

Not at all. I like to read along at my level on the same topics I am reading to the kids on theirs.

Stephanie, those books are beautiful . . . now I just need someone to translate them for me!
