This edition offers all of G. K. Chesterton's insight, humor, and wit as he uncovers the real meaning of the life of the world's most popular saint. All Francis's life was a series of plunges and scampers, darting after the beggar, dashing naked into the woods, tossing himself into the strange ship, and hurling himself into the Sultan's tent. In appearance he must have been like a thin brown skeleton autumn leaf dancing eternally before the wind; but in truth it was he that was the wind.

Young readers, meet Francis of Assisi--the world's most famous Saint

Travel back in time and over the sea to a city in Umbria in the heart of Italy in 1182. There you'll meet Francesco Bernardone--better known as Saint Francis of Assisi.

But who was Francis? He was a Saint, that's for sure--but he was also a soldier and a rebel. He was a man who loved peace and preached to animals but was unafraid to stand up for what was right, take care of lepers, challenge the rich, and defend the poor.

Tim Ladwig's beautiful illustrations will transport you into Francis's world and open your eyes and your heart to the inspiring life of the world's most famous saint.
