LUCA CESARINI is the author of With Bridget in the Holy Land (Sacristy Press, £16.99 (£15.29); 9781-78959-307-5), a translation (by Gun Lundborg Cesarini) of a book published in Swedish in 2014. Its first 96 pages tell of St Bridget of Sweden, one of the best-travelled medieval women, and her travels to the Holy Places, after which 74 provide a translation of her own words. A chronology and information about Bridgettine guest houses follow.

Christian Herstories: Colouring book, by Diana Matos Gagic, gives brief lives and drawings to colour in of Eve, Mary, Phoebe, Agnes, Hilda of Whitby, Margaret of Scotland, Hildegard of Bingen, Paraskeva of the Balkans, Elizabeth of Portugal, Julian of Norwich, Catherine of Siena, Joan of Arc, Thérèse of Lisieux, Li Tim Oi, Wendy Beckett, Rachel Treweek, and Libby Lane — with a last frame for the user to draw her own face in (Crafty Birdie Designs, £8.99 (£8.09); 978-1-9160072-9-1).
