Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hildegard could see wonderful things inside her head: flowers and flames, and towers and stars, and the whole universe. She trembled with the brilliance of her visions and the pain of holding them inside. But she lived in a time when women were expected only to obey--not to have visions or speak about them. Yet she did speak, and through her courage became one of the greatest mystics and composers of the medieval age. This exquisite book from the creators of Diego honours the story of a woman whose secret world still entrances readers.
