How many times have you imagined what artists talked about as they worked?  What questions did they ask, what observations did they make, how did they work with others?  Well now one writer has got into the heads of two medieval monks as they work on their manuscripts, one more senior and experienced, the other a novice with many questions.  Enjoy!
