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, a Catholic saint known for his love of nature and devotion to poverty. The collection includes ten plays that cover various aspects of St. Francis' life, including his conversion, his relationship with animals, his preaching to the birds, and his stigmata. Each play is written in verse and is designed to be performed by a small cast of actors. The plays offer a unique and imaginative portrayal of St. Francis' life and teachings, making them a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church or the life of this beloved saint.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
