ISBN: 9781909041257

Kate Tristram has written an entertaining and accessible account of the remarkable years of the 17th century Golden Age of Northumbria from the viewpoint of a fictional monk called Egfroth and his cat.

She tells the story of Saint Aidan coming to Lindisfarne at the request of King Oswald, the traumatic events of the Synod of Whitby, the ministry of the charismatic Saint Cuthbert, the creation of the Lindisfarne Gospels and the emergence of the great historian The Venerable Bede.

Like Bede, Kate Tristram is a historian and author; she has lived and worked on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, at the heart of this story, for forty years. Combining her detailed knowledge of the era with a delightfully light touch, she provides a succinct overview of the momentous events that stamped their mark firmly on the religious, cultuural and artistic life of our nation.
