Extract from the introduction:
The Life and Legends of St. Francis of Assisi by Father Candide Chalippe, O.F.M., was first published at Paris in 1727. The abundance of incidents and anecdotes not to be found elsewhere make the volume eminently interesting, while the reflexions and applications which the author now and then interweaves with the narrative are so replete with practical hints on spiritual life, that they will undoubtedly produce the best spiritual results in the reader. The style though simple, at times graphic, is very pleasing; the narrative flows on with equal ease and freedom.
