A compilation of the legends and folklorish stories that grew up around the saint after his death, it was not, obviously, written by Francis, though many assume it was; the author is generally believed to have been BROTHER UGOLINO OF MONTEGIORGIO (c. 1210-1274). This edition is a replica of the classic 1906 translation by WILLIAM HEYWOOD (1857-1919).
Here, in this charming work--essential reading for students of religious folklore as well as for seekers after spiritual comfort--read tales of:
* St. Francis's 40-day Lenten fast
* how God appeared to the saint
* Francis's blessing of grapes that produced more wine than ever before
* how the saint tamed wild turtledoves
* how Francis set free a friar who was in sin with a demon
* how the saint caused a rich man to give up his wealth and become a friar
* how Francis tamed a ravenous wolf
* and much more.
