My name is Book and I'll tell you the story of my life...

This is the story of books--told by none other than Book! A delightfully eccentric character, with strong opinions and a poetic turn of phrase, Book tells of a journey from clay tablet to e-reader and everything in between. With stunning illustrations by Neil Packer, Book is an unforgettable blend of memory and musings, illuminated by one of England's leading poets.

Copies: 7

It befell that on the first day of Lent, Brother Hugo could not return his library book. The Abbot was most displeased. "Our house now lacks the comforting letters of St. Augustine, Brother Hugo. How did this happen?"

The precious book, it turns out, has been devoured by a bear, and so Hugo must replace it. Letter by letter and line by line the hapless monk crafts a new book, all the while being trailed by a hungry new friend who thinks that the words of St. Augustine are truly far sweeter than honey.
