"Gabriel, do not get out thy work here, for the Abbot hath just ordered that someone must help Brother Stephen, who is alone in the old chapter-house. He hath a special book to make, and his colour-grinder is fallen ill; so go thou at once and take Jacques's place... He did not know that the monk, at that moment, was sitting moodily by his work-table, his eyes staring aimlessly ahead of him, and his hands dropped idly in his lap. For Brother Stephen was feeling very cross and unhappy and out of sorts with all the world."
A talented monk chained to a worktable, a small boy assigned to mix his paints and a prayer hidden in a book changes the lives of all. First published in 1906, this sweet story about a peasant boy, Gabriel, and an unhappy monk who longs to leave the abbey will warm your heart. All original color illustrations included.
