This work, Flowers for Francis, is not an academic work nor does it pretend
to be accurate.
Rather, Flowers for Francis is a work of love and a personal attempt to capture
the essence of St Francis’s method and vision.
It is a meditation on his life and a culmination of my interest, since my childhood, in the life of a child-like saint.
