Summary "Gabriel and the Hour Book" by Evaleen Stein is a historical children's novel written in the early 20th century. Set in Normandy during the late medieval period, the story revolves around a peasant boy named Gabriel Viaud, who works as a color-grinder at St. Martin's Abbey. The narrative explores themes of art, creativity, and social class, as Gabriel's connection with the talented but troubled Brother Stephen leads to adventures surrounding the creation of a beautiful illuminated prayer book. The opening portion of the novel introduces Gabriel as he joyfully makes his daily trek to the Abbey, where he assists the monks in their artistic endeavors. We learn about Brother Stephen, an artist who feels trapped by the rules of monastic life and longs for freedom to pursue his creative passions. As Gabriel immerses himself in the world of painting and illumination, he discovers the challenges the brothers face, including the artistic pressures tied to an important commission for the king. This part sets the stage for Gabriel's eventual involvement in larger conflicts influenced by the socio-political dynamics of his time, hinting at themes of hope, creativity, and the quest for human dignity.
