Wrong book received

The book I received is Volume V, seventh edition, edited by Bernard Kelly, 1954. I can't say I'd like to return it, but I would like to have the book I intended to order, even if I have to pay for it

all 12 volumes

This edition of Butler's Lives of the Saints presents its subjects in a vibrant, sober and (as required by the genre) brief way. The books are like the Litany of the Saints invoking these memorable Christians and giving readers a picture of the communion of saints. They came from every time and place. They represent all of human variation. The series does not shy away from presenting weaknesses along with admirable qualities. This clearly comes from the conviction that God's grace does not work only in ideal people, but every variety of person can be a saint.
