Franciscan Spirituality?

[Julie]

I'm interested in learning more about Franciscan spirituality, but googling yields not-very-good results. Id love any info or any advice about books to read etc.

Thanks!

Anything about Francis or Clare would be good I'm sure.

I really liked the books little flowers of St Francis, and life of St Francis by St Bonaventure... They're not treatises on the spirituality but seemed to help me understand some of it. 

Maybe looking at the life of the founder is a great way to tell
