Download or read book The Book of Saints and Friendly Beasts written by Abbie Farwell Brown and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN the old legends there may be things which some folk nowadays find it hard to believe. But surely the theme of each is true. It is not hard to see how gentle bodies who had no other friends should make comrades of the little folk in fur and fins and feathers. For, as St. Francis knew so well, all the creatures are our little brothers, ready to meet halfway those who will but try to understand. And this is a truth which every one to-day, even tho' he be no Saint, is waking up to learn. The happenings are set down quite as they read in the old books. Veritable histories, like those of St. Francis and St. Cuthbert, ask no addition of color to make them real. But sometimes, when a mere line of legend remained to hint of some dear Saint's relation with his friendly Beast, the story has been filled out in the way that seemed most likely to be true. For so alone could the old tale be made alive again. So all one's best is dressing old words new.

Book excerpt: The Book of Saints and Friendly Beasts By Abbie Farwell Brown He was the biggest kind of a lion, much bigger than the donkey, and his mane was long and thick, and his tail had a yellow brush on the end as large as a window mop. But as he came Gerasimus noticed that he limped as if he were lame. At once the Saint was filled with pity, for he could not bear to see any creature suffer. And without any thought of fear, he went forward to meet the lion. Instead of pouncing upon him fiercely, or snarling, or making ready to eat him up, the lion crouched whining at his feet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EVERY one has heard of Bridget, the little girl saint of Ireland. Her name is almostas well known as that of Saint Patrick, who drove all the snakes from the Island.Saint Bridget had long golden hair; and she was very beautiful. Many wonderfulthings happened to her that are written in famous books. But I suspect that younever heard what she did about the King's Wolf. It is a queer story.This is how it happened. The King of Ireland had a tame wolf which somehunters had caught for him when it was a wee baby. And this wolf ran around as itpleased in the King's park near the palace, and had a very good time. But onemorning he got over the high wall which surrounded the park, and strayed a longdistance from home, which was a foolish thing to do. For in those days wild wolveswere hated and feared by the people, whose cattle they often stole; and if a mancould kill a wicked wolf he thought himself a very smart fellow indeed. Moreover, the King himself had offered a prize to any man who should bring him a dead wolf.For he wanted his kingdom to be a peaceful, happy one, where the children couldplay in the woods all day without fear of big eyes or big teeth
