""Little Plays of St. Francis"" is a collection of short plays written by Laurence Housman in 1922. The plays are based on the life and legend of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment. The cycle consists of ten plays, each focusing on a different aspect of St. Francis' life, from his conversion to his death. The plays are written in a poetic and lyrical style and are suitable for both reading and performance. They explore themes such as poverty, humility, and the relationship between humans and nature. The book provides a unique and compelling insight into the life and teachings of one of the most beloved saints in Christian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
