What are some good books that focus on the lives of Catholic saints? Works that focus on individual saints would be ideal, but something like a Bulfinch's Mythology for saints would be great too.

Chesterton's book on St. Francis is pretty good.

also interested. Saint stories were the comic books of the middle ages (stories about superheroes, everybody knows the main ones, some people get really into it, debates about canon, etc.)
