This is an English language translation by Peter Heinegg from Julien Green's French language original entitled 'Frere Francois,' published by Editons du Seuil of Paris, France in April 1983. This Perennial Library paperback edition, published by Harper & Row in 1987, was designed by Don Hatch. The cover design by Alan Mazzetti shows a small colour photograph of a statue of the hooded Francis. It has a 'Word from the Author,' and a short Select Bibliography near the end of its 274 pages. "Julien Green's book...is beautifully written, well researched, and altogether a masterpiece. Readers of it have the privilege not just of learning all about St. Francis, but of seeming to participate in his sublimely crazy ministry. To say that it is finely done is not enough; it is enchanting,' said Malcolm Muggeridge quoted on the back cover. Green is also described by an anonymous writer on the back cover as 'a pivotal figure in the Paris literary scene of the 1920s and 1930s, [who] became in 1971 the only American writer to be elected to the Academie Francaise.' He was introduced to me in a course on major 20th century Catholic writers that I took under the direction of Professor Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis while studying at the University of San Francisco in the eighties.
