Augustine Came to Kent

This was another book that I read for Mother of Divine Grace.  It is a Bethlehem book by Barbara Willard, and meets the high standards which everyone has come to expect from those names.  The main character is a boy named Wolf, a Saxon living in Rome.  He and his father travel with St. Augustine and his monks to England to spread the gospel.  The trip to England is long and dangerous, however, and more trouble awaits the monks when they finally reach their destination.  Naturally, the English people are suspicious of these foreign characters, even when King Ethelbert, the king of Kent, gives St. Augustine permission to preach in his land.  Even with the prospect of never getting their message through to the stubborn people, the monks continue to work and eventually plant the faith deep in the roots of England.
