The story of a priest from what is now present-day Ireland, who is chosen to be part of a group of monks who intend to journey to Byzantium to present the emperor with a costly hand-illuminated manuscript, The Book of Kells. A wonderful adventure story taking place in the Age of Faith.

Book is burgundy boards with black cloth spine, stamped in gold. The front board is embossed with a rising sun behind the Hagia Sophia, the same motif seen on the dustjacket artwork. Jacket is fine, intact.
