Illustrated by
Tomie dePaola.
Norris tells a sophisticated and complex story of Benedict and Scholastica, twins who grew up to have an important influence on the Roman Catholic church. The book lacks notes that would help sort out legend from historical fact, and readers need some background to follow the story. DePaola's illustrations are handsome, giving the story both the needed medieval setting and a formal fresco feel.
