Publisher's Synopsis

And so the places of the rood and cell can yet be traced, and, standing at the bottom of the Hermit's Street, in fancy we behold them; and further back our memory leads us till we see Saint Joseph and the Holy Grail, and afterwards the hermit preaching to the folk whose chapel was the open air, whose organ was the birds of heaven.
