Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'Thursday 8th July I am enjoying ? between books - the ?Everyman? ?Little Flowers of St. Francis?, and find it very lovely if at times a little amusing. Cannot however stomach the bodily uncleanness of the ?out and out? Franciscans. It does not read well. The miracles are often very beautiful and often rather funny.'
