Father Ambrosius, the Wanderer, finds a boy and a dog after a Viking raid. They join him. Shortly there after a fourth boy Harold Fairhair who is being stoned to death joins them. They travel over Ireland and this strange father seems able to do things which border on magic or mystical.
His bag of food never runs out. He starts fires with his bare hands. And he has a strange way with people. In fact all four wanderers touch all they meet with their gentle wisdom - and no one is quite the same as before. They find a world of wonder at Father Ambrosius' hands.
