Anyone with an interest in medieval times will want to read this lavishly illustrated account of one monk’s adventures in the garden and the scriptorium.
In medieval Ireland, Theophane's boredom with his duties as a scribe distracts the other monks, but when he is sent to the kitchens he discovers that he can make inks of many colors from plants, allowing the others to illustrate their work. Includes facts about the history of monasteries, scriptoriums, and illuminated manuscripts.
Recommended for primary school (age 6-12) and up.
