Brother Hugo and the Bear by Katy Beebe illustrated by S.D. Schindler*

 A bear ate the abbey's copy of St. Augustine's letters while in Brother Hugo's possession. The consequence? Brother Hugo must copy it during Lent. Readers will be immersed in the process of book-making during the 12th century as they enjoy a delightful, humorous story. Based on notes found in a 12th century manuscript. A helpful historical note and a glossary are included. The illustrations are exquiste.

*Highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
