The baker writes “ One Mass” on a scrap of paper and places it on his scale to determine how much bread it is worth. To his and the entire town’ s surprise, nothing in the shop, not even the gigantic wedding cakes made for the king, outweighs the simple piece of paper representing the true worth of a mass. Luminous old-world watercolor paintings grace the interior of the book and gold foil artwork lends an air of solemnity and sacred beauty to the story.
