Description: "Three miles off Tenby on the south-west coast of Wales the small island of Caldey keeps faith with fifteen hundred years of tradition. Small boats ferry visitors to a sacred sanctuary, a place of peace and charm, a small world apart, a haven for wildlife, a delight of woods and flowers, cliffs and coves. Monks first settled here in the sixth century. Their successors, too, in their remarkable abbey, devote their lives to prayer and work; and in this book speak candidly of their personal struggles in embracing monastic life." -- p [4] of cover.
