The Little Flowers of Saint Francis of Assisi is a collection of stories about the life and teachings of St. Francis of Assisi, written by Dom Roger Hudleston. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which tells a different story about St. Francis and his followers, the Franciscan friars. The stories are often humorous and whimsical, but they also convey important spiritual lessons and insights into St. Francis' philosophy of poverty, humility, and love for all creatures. Some of the stories describe St. Francis' miracles, such as his ability to communicate with animals and heal the sick. Others focus on his interactions with his fellow friars and the people he encountered on his travels. Throughout the book, St. Francis is portrayed as a humble and compassionate figure, who lived a simple and austere life in service to God and his fellow human beings. The Little Flowers of Saint Francis of Assisi is a classic work of Christian literature, beloved by readers of all ages for its charming stories and profound spiritual wisdom.1930. The phrase �������little flowers������� has, in English, a vague aroma of sentiment and propaganda, and by virtue of the diminutive it has acquired a similar flavor even in Italian. Suppose this collection of tales has been called the �������Franciscan Anthology,������� a title at once more exact and more majestic in its associations? Or suppose, somewhat facetiously, but still within its spirit, it had been known as the �������Selected Miracles of Saint Francis and His Brethren?������� The story as regards the English speaking world, might have been different.
