    St. Augustine came to Kent


    In the book, Augustine Came to Kent, the story focuses on a young boy called Wolf. He was born in Italy, but his parents were Saxons, who emigrated from England. The Pope planned an expedition to England, and needed a Saxon interpreter, so he asked Wolfs father to come along and help them. At first he refused, but then his already sick wife died. Now he had nothing to hold him back, so he placed Wolf in the care of the monks, and his daughter with some friends. But, it so happened, that the monks that he was staying with, are the same monks that were helping the expedition prepare for its journey, and supply personnel to the expedition. With this fortuitous turn of events, Wolf was at the heart of the preparations, and heard all about the expedition. He pleaded with his father to let him come, and after much deliberation, his father decided that Wolf can go. The first thing that the expedition did, after landing in England, was to meet with the King of the Angles. They soon baptized him, and received permission to begin the building of a church. Wolf met many Angles, and in particular, a girl named Fritha, a little younger than him, and they became friends. After a month or so, Wolfs father sought permission to go and visit the village in which he was born. During the journey, they meet Fritha, and her father. They are fleeing an angry relative, who is furious at them for becoming Catholics. The father and daughter accompany Wolf and his father to and back from his home Village. Years pass, with Wolf working for the monks, and Fritha as one of the Queens ladies in waiting. Wolf asks Fritha to marry him and she accepts. They are blessed by the fact that the church bestows upon them a plot of land. The book ends as Fritha and Wolf return from visiting this generous gift.
