The Last Monks

"This is a short book about monks from Ireland who I established a monestary on a Rocky mountain seven miles off the coast of Ireland. Their existence was hard as they had to bring all necessities not available on their new home. They only were able to eat fish, birds and the eggs supplied by the birds, all other food was ferried ther by boat."
