xxxviii, 120 pp. Preface by Madeleine L'Engle. Edited by and adapted from a translation by W. Heywood. "With a new Preface by the noted writer Madeleine L'Engle, author of nearly f ifty books of fiction and non-fiction, including A Wrinkle in Time. St. Francis of Assisi's ecstatic embrace of a life of poverty revolutionized Christianity even as it transformed the ethics of the West. In this luminous and lively book, St. Francis's followers preserved his legend and those of his first disciples, combining stories of miracles with convincing portraits of men who were no less human for having been touched by God."
