UnCracked Monday

I had a few candidates for what to present today; but when I saw this I had to link it.  As an historian, this is just amazing.

These are pictures drawn by a 7 year old boy, in the 12th century.  Any writing, any art, that we have from that far back, is a blessing; but this, this is a wonder. Bibles, very important documents of other sorts, sure, but here something that no one except maybe this little boy himself felt was of any value, has survived through the centuries, and we get a remarkably intimate glimpse into what his life was like.
