Book one. The road to Assisi : the essential biography of St. Francis / Paul Sabatier ; edited, with introduction and annotations, by Jon M. Sweeney -- book two. Francis of Assisi : the essential writings (in his own words) / translated, introduced, and annotated by Jon M. Sweeney -- book three. The Little flowers of St. Francis / [ascribed to] Brother Ugolino ; introduced, annotated, arranged chronologically, and rendered into contemporary English by Jon M. Sweeney.
There are many editions of the writings of Francis, and biographies about him, but here in one volume are both, plus the complete text of the late medieval work The Little Flowers, which did more to establish the legend of the man than any other work. This "Paraclete Giants" edition includes the complete Road to Assisi, Paul Sabatiers groundbreaking biography of Francis, first published in French in 1894 and re-issued and annotated in English translation in 2002; the complete Francis in His Own Words: The Essential Writings; and The Little Flowers, thus offering the best introduction to St. Francis yet available.--Publisher.
