Prev owner bookplate on endpaper. Pages very clean and completely free from any markings, lightly toned. St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) was born Francesco Bernardone in Assisi, Umbria, into a well-to-do family and well-loved. This is a rousing, adventurous, historical novel, with the life of St. Francis weaving in and out through all historical events and circumstances. It is set in one of the critical periods of Christian history, at the end of the 12th century, the century of the great cathedrals. It was the age when the Catholic Church became engorged with power; the age of the troubadour; the age in which the Sultan of Egypt found one Christian who practices what Christianity preached-St. Francis of Assisi. It contains one of the great stories of history, the second Children's Crusade, that ended so tragically. An amazing history. 375 pages. 8.25 x 5.75 inches. Roy Publishers, New York, 1944.
