Sable has been cursed. Now every time she says a cruel word, which occurs all too often, spiders and snakes appear. Pennahs curse is slightly different: every kind word she speaks produces a precious stone. All Sable wants to do is protect her little sister, but when a curious man appears in town and kidnaps Pennah for the gems, Sables job becomes much more difficult. With the help of a dark-skinned thief out for Pennahs jewels as well, Sable goes headlong into the Black Forest, a PLACE full of deadly fairy-tale creatures. Meanwhile, Pennah discovers that she is not the only captive in her castle prison. As she unravels the mystery behind her kidnapper, she begins to understand what it means to be a part of the magical Black Forest. What if, for the first time in her life, Sable cant save her? Will Pennah be able to save herself?
Tis book puts in context the place of Christian monasticism in the story of the world. That is the theme the author has tried to deal with, and though many excellent things have been written about monks this book deals with their earnest labours for mankind from just this point of view. The twin pillars of mediaeval civilization were the tradition of Home and Christian monasticism (rather than the Christian faith as such), and each had a great contribution to make. In this book the author has attempted to set forth the main outlines of the second pillar of medievalism - those tasks so well achieved by the monks whose original traditions might have appeared so exceedingly unpromising.
