Jared's Reviews > The Little Flowers of Saint Francis

A very delightful little book, food for my soul. While this is definitely not for everyone, I found the air of innocent faith that breathed through these tales of St. Francis and his companions to be absolutely inspiring. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because the translator of this particular edition (Jon M. Sweeney) chose to use some jarring anachronisms, like the word "okay." Otherwise, the translation was very readable: simple, even child-like, a style which well fitted the atmosphere of the tales.
