Book Description
Leaving behind his wayward youth, the visionary and mystic Francesco Bernardone (1181-1226) embraced a life of utter poverty and, near the end of his life, received the stigmata--the marks of Christ's passion--on his body. He changed water into wine, preached to the birds, cured countless cripples and wrestled with devils. Or did he?

This new translation of St. Francis's friend and disciple--Thomas of Celano--is the earliest and most reliable account of a truly extraordinary man, from the early teachings of St. Francis to his canonization and miracles. Christopher Stace provides a full introduction that describes Thomas of Celano and his relationship with the saintly man, as well as a survey of other biographical writings about St. Francis.

About the Author
Christopher Stace was senior classics master at Bradfield College for many years. He is a book reviewer for The Daily Telegraph and BBC Radio.
