The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban — Margaret Nagel
It's the year AD 898. Sixteen-year-old Brother Arcadius makes the arduous journey from his native Dublin to the remote Alpine monastery of Spiritus Sanctus to be its new assistant librarian. Fortunately for the earnest young monk and everyone else at the monastery, he doesn't arrive alone but with a cat, a very exceptional cat of few words and serendipitous catlike powers....
Inspired by an actual 9th-century poem written by an Irish monk about his cat Pangur Ban, these comical and touching adventures are written for all those who (like Brother Arcadius himself) strive to keep their balance in a difficult world. With illustrations by the author.
The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban was the recipient of a BlueInk starred review and also selected as a BlueInk Monthly Best Book for Booklist, a publication of the American Library Association.
