This book is enriched with the spirit of philosophy - often humorous and always human - of a monk who, having shown some skill at sculpture and wood carving, built his own kiln within the Abbey. In its essence, this book could have come from the quill of a mediaeval Cistercian who would have had the same outlook on life as the present writer.'
