While the mainstream New Naturalist volumes were initially intended to deal with broad subjects such as wild flowers, insects or National Parks, a parallel New Naturalist series of monographs on single species or related groups of species was also published between 1948 and 1971. There have been no additions since. Now, for the first time in over forty years, these best-selling, out-of-print volumes will be available as print-on-demand editions.                The New Naturalist monographs shared the same high standards of the main series and were envisioned as relatively short books of about 50,000 words, and in a smaller format than the main series. Artists Clifford and Rosemary Ellis were asked to design jackets for this series alongside the main series, which resulted in the same stunning, distinctive cover illustrations that had helped inspire an entire new generation of nature enthusiasts.

Armstrong, explores the origins and significance of the remarkable natural history woven into the Franciscan Legend. Although Saint Francis is today celebrated as the Christian saint most closely identified with compassion for animals, plants, and the elements, Armstrong shows that this reputation has been too often romanticized and insufficiently studied. By examining the nature stories in Francis’s biographies—the wolf of Gubbio, the sermon to the birds, and countless other tales—he asks whether they reflect fact, folklore, or a deliberate hagiographical construction designed to present Francis as a new kind of saint.   Armstrong situates Francis’s devotion to the natural world within the broader intellectual, cultural, and religious traditions of medieval Europe. He traces influences from Celtic Christianity, monastic poverty movements, troubadour culture, and Joachim of Fiore, while also exploring how Francis’s early companions and later biographers reshaped his image to serve ecclesiastical needs. The study illuminates Francis not only as a mystic whose piety embraced all of creation, but also as a figure shaped by complex historical forces. By combining perspectives from history, theology, folklore, psychology, and natural science, Armstrong recovers the depth of Francis’s vision and challenges us to see him as both a child of his age and a pioneer whose reverence for creation still resonates powerfully in an era of ecological concern.
