Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First English Language Edition. Roy Publishers, 1944. Hardback First English Language Printing. Hardcover Book in Very Good Condition without a jacket. Bound in red cloth with black and blue title panel on spine with red title, black title on front. Clean with three small pale red spots and two faint scratches on front; Minimal wear to extremities; square, tight & solid volume. Rough cut on fore edge and bottom edge. Prev owner bookplate on endpaper. Pages very clean and completely free from any markings, lightly toned. St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) was born Francesco Bernardone in Assisi, Umbria, into a well-to-do family and well-loved. This is a rousing, adventurous, historical novel, with the life of St. Francis weaving in and out through all historical events and circumstances. It is set in one of the critical periods of Christian history, at the end of the 12th century, the century of the great cathedrals. It was the age when the Catholic Church became engorged with power; the age of the troubadour; the age in which the Sultan of Egypt found one Christian who practices what Christianity preached-St. Francis of Assisi. It contains one of the great stories of history, the second Children's Crusade, that ended so tragically. An amazing history. 375 pages. 8.25 x 5.75 inches. Roy Publishers, New York, 1944.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. Here is a historical novel in the grand tradition. It is set against the background of one of the most tumultuous and exciting periods of history- the early part of the Thirteenth Century- the years of the Fifth Crusade to deliver Jerusalem from the infidels and the tragic Children's Crusade. In Rome Pope Innocent III suffers endless anguish at the thought of the Holy Sepulchre still in infidel hands. All sorts of superstitions and wild forebodings are sweeping Italy and France, for the stars foretell great evils. To Rome comes the gentle Francis of Assisi and his devoted band, preaching a new gospel of love and simplicity, and seeking the Pope's approval for their new Rule, the Order of the Brothers Minor. To Rome also comes the noble Jean de Brienne of France who has been ordered to Palestine to marry the young child-queen Marie, and become King of Jerusalem, leaving behind him the great love of his life, Blanche, Countess of Champagne. And outside of Rome, in the villages and hamlets of Italy, there wanders about a strange figure who gathers about him thousands of children, pure of heart, on the promise that they will rescue the Holy Land and gain the victory for Christendom which their sinful elders have failed to achieve. And between Rome and France William Divini, king of troubadours, journeys, carrying the love messages of de Brienne and Blanche. The scene shifts to Egypt where, following the disastrous failure of the Crusade, Francis journeys to convert the Sultan to Christianity and succeeds in saving the Crusaders from annihilation. But in his absence his Order has abandoned the ways of humility and has grown strong and rich. His labors must be done again. Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng. Seller Inventory # 000911
