Brother Hugo and The Bear written by Katy Beebe, illustrated by S.D. Schindler
This book is so beautiful! A friend told me about a book she had read to her daughter and thought of me while reading; thanks Suelinda! Just the title let me know, it was one I needed to read. In the Author's Note to the reader, she shares how there is truth behind this story. In a letter by Peter the Venerable (Benedictine abbey of Cluney 1092-1156), he told about his unfortunate incident with a bear and a manuscript. The illustrator gives life to the medieval setting. http://www.amazon.com/Brother-Hugo-Bear-Katy-Beebe/dp/0802854079/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1425396347&sr=1-1&keywords=brother+hugo+and+the+bear

You are welcome! It was really neat wasn't it!?! I'm glad you liked it. Fun that it was based on a true story. Amazing what they did to make those manuscripts! Nice blog post.
