My first G. K. Chesterton, a writer I've had recommended to me over and over, and I must say that I find Chesterton absolutely delightful. I can't think of a better match for this fabulous writer than the fabulous Saint Francis of Assisi.

Of course I came away from this book with lots of new facts about Francis, but, more importantly, I came away with a new flavor for Francis. Simple. Natural. Childlike. Devoted to God and God's work.
