Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Brother Juniper lives in the hills of Assisi with Father Francis and seven other brothers. Brother Juniper is the most generous of the brothers. He is so generous that he will happily give the robe off his back to someone in need--even if that leaves him with nothing else to wear. When Father Francis asks Brother Juniper to look after the church by himself one day, the other brothers are very worried about what they'll find when they return. But with his kind heart and simple ways, Brother Juniper reminds them all what it means to truly look after a church.
This fresh take on the traditional stories of Brother Juniper is beautifully rendered in playful and expressive paintings, creating an unusual story that inspires equal amounts of laughter and goodwill.
Worried about having left the overly-generous Brother Juniper in charge of their chapel when they went out to preach, the other friars are not prepared for what they find upon their return.
