History in Low Light, Vol. 2
Sleep Stories Medieval Monasteries Whitby AbbeyBy Amy Key Zaret

About this audiobook
On the windswept cliffs above the North Sea, Whitby Abbey has watched over the town of Whitby for centuries. First founded as a seventh-century double monastery of monks and nuns, it was later re-established by the Normans as a Benedictine abbey, leaving behind stones rich with silence, prayer, sea air, and time.
History in Low Light, Vol. 2: Sleep Stories Medieval Monasteries Whitby Abbey invites you into four quiet medieval worlds made for rest. Listen beside the warm lamp of the scriptorium, walk the damp garden path beneath the old yew, settle near the hearth while snow softens the abbey walls, and hear the first morning bell fade through the cloister stones.
Gentle, atmospheric, and low-stimulation, these stories are history softened into firelight, rain, snow, parchment, bells, and stone.
