Excellent small book about monastic life in England.

[orangekubrick · Rating 4 out of 5]

Simple language aimed at a young audience and with beautiful illustrations. Great intro for anyone new to the topic.

Cool, readable little vintage book that my sixth graders will love.

[Paul Pryce · Rating 4 out of 5]

Probably for the younger reader BUT if like me, you know next to nothing about the subject, this is a great companion book.
