The book “How the Irish Saved Civilization” is actually quite good on St. Patrick. It’s really about 400 to about 1000 AD in Ireland and reads quite well. I didn’t bother with it for several years thinking it was just another Irish joke book, but it isn’t at all.
I forgot to add this:

Happy St. Patrick’s day.
Yes, I have that one - it’s a good read.
