The Little Flowers and the Life of St. Francis, with the Mirror of Perfection is a book written by Thomas Okey and published in 1908. The book is a comprehensive account of the life of St. Francis of Assisi, a Catholic saint and founder of the Franciscan order. The first part of the book, The Little Flowers, is a collection of stories and legends about St. Francis and his followers, known as the Franciscans. These stories are said to have been collected by Brother Ugolino, a follower of St. Francis, and were originally written in Italian. The stories are intended to illustrate the virtues of poverty, humility, and simplicity that were central to St. Francis' teachings.The second part of the book, The Mirror of Perfection, is a longer and more detailed account of St. Francis' life, written by an anonymous author in the 14th century. This account includes information about St. Francis' childhood, his conversion to Christianity, and his founding of the Franciscan order. It also includes details about St. Francis' spiritual practices, including his devotion to poverty and his love of nature.Overall, The Little Flowers and the Life of St. Francis, with the Mirror of Perfection is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and teachings of St. Francis of Assisi. The book provides a vivid and engaging account of St. Francis' life and the values that he sought to promote through his teachings and his example.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
