Brother Hugo and the Bear:

Katy Beebe

Brother Hugo needs to return a very important library book another monasterys copy of St Augustine. But along the way, a hungry bear devours the precious book, and the Abbot tasks Hugo with replacing it. Letter by letter and line by line the hapless monk crafts a new book and sets off to return it. It turns out, though, that once a bear has a taste of letters, hes rarely satisfied. With a hungry bear close on his heels, will Brother Hugo ever make it back with his fine parchment in one piece? Lavishly illustrated by S D Schindler, Brother Hugo and the Bear is loosely based on a note found in a twelfth-century manuscript and largely on the creative imaginings of the author. This humorous tale is sure to delight readers who have acquired their own taste for books.
