Reseña del editor

Rachel Billington brings the story of Saint Francis alive for children. She paints a fascinating picture of this extraordinary man showing us his childhood, his conversion and his love of nature.

We learn of his miracles - the taming of the wolf and the preaching of the birds - his friendships, his incredivle crusadeto convert the Sultan of Egypt, his followers, and of his early death.

James Mayhew's entrancing illustrations glow from the page and capture the very essence of Italy in Saint Francis' day. They perfectly complement Rachel Billington's classically simple and child-friendly prose style.
