Summary

G. K. Chesterton's classic biography of St. Francis. Visit ChestertonBooks.com to see other books in our G. K. Chesterton series.

"St. Francis was above all things a great giver; and he cared chiefly for the best kind of giving which is called thanksgiving.... He knew that the praise of God stands on its strongest ground when it stands on nothing. He knew that we can best measure the towering miracle of the mere fact of existence if we realize that but for some strange mercy we should not even exist.... From him came a whole awakening of the world and a dawn in which all shapes and colors could be seen anew." - G. K. Chesterton

An essay not a biography

A “short and scratchy sketch” or “essay” (Chesterton’s words) not a biography, but with great insights into the essence of St Francis. Worth reading whether you know about this saint or not.
Try not to curl up into a ball crying “arggghhh” every time the reader attempts English place names, like Camden and Feltham...

Terrible narration

I don’t want to be cruel as the narrator may read this one day, but please sound more interested when you read a book. The bored, detached, disinterested tone may not have been intentional, but the effect seriously diminished my experience of listening to this much awaited book.
