The Story of a Soul
The story of the little flower gathered by Jesus: childhood at Alençon and Les Buissonnets, entry into the Carmel of Lisieux at fifteen, the little way of spiritual childhood and the offering to Merciful Love, told by the saint herself, followed by the account of her death and the counsels her novices remembered. The 1898 text as edited and divided into chapters by Mother Agnes of Jesus, in T. N. Taylor's 1912 translation.

Source: The twelve chapters (I–XI by Thérèse as edited by Mother Agnès, XII Mother Agnès's account of her last months and death) and the appendix of Conseils et souvenirs, with the edition's notes as footnotes. The front matter (approbations, preface, introduction), the plates and their captions (including the quotations printed under each chapter's frontispiece), the prayers, letters, poems and Pluie de roses are not included. Checked word by word against the 1911 printing (Gutenberg 36708); 19 Wikisource slips, mostly words dropped at page breaks, were corrected from it. · https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/36708 · Chapters I–XI (the autobiography), the Epilogue (the French chapter XII) and Counsels and Reminiscences, with Taylor's notes. Taylor abridges and reorders a few passages, so paragraphs do not always match the French. His preface, the letters, prayers, poems and Shower of Roses are not included.
