Here is a book that breathes the spirit of St. Francis as no other. The best-loved stories of the Poverello and his followers are all here: Francis sermon to the birds, the Stigmata, the wolf of Gubbio, the preaching of St Anthony, the 'Canticle of Brother Sun' and the lives and sayings of Brother Juniper and Brother Giles. Above all, it is a love story... the story of the Little Poor Man taught the world about the love of Christ, and how this love can be lived and shared and enjoyed by everyone.
