The story of the making of an hour book as a wedding gift from King Louis of France to Lady Anne of Brittany and the good results it brought to little Gabriel, Brother Stephen's color grinder. Inspired by a bunch of violets and cuckoo-buds Gabriel brings into the workroom, Brother Stephen conceives a new idea for an illuminated border. Instead of the conventional way, he would decorate the book with borders of gold and with realistic looking meadow wildflowers, bees, butterflies, and small birds.
