The Head of the Saint

See all formats and editions

After walking for days across the harsh Brazilian landscape only to be rejected by his last living relative, Samuel finds his options for survival are dwindling fast - until he comes to the hollow head of a statue, perfect for a boy to crawl into and hide...Whilst sheltering, Samuel realises that he can hear the villagers' whispered prayers to Saint Anthony - confessing lost loves, hopes and fears - and he begins to wonder if he ought to help them out a little.

When Samuel's advice hits the mark he becomes famous, and people flock to the town to hear about their future loves.

But with all the fame comes some problems, and soon Samuel has more than just the lovelorn to deal with.

A completely charming and magically told Brazilian tale, sure to capture your heart.
