The book chronicles the life of Saint Columba, also known as Columcille, who was an Irish monk and missionary in the 6th century.

O'Donnell's work is based on earlier biographies of Saint Columba and includes details of his birth, childhood, education, and religious work. The book also covers his travels to Scotland, where he founded the monastery of Iona, and his interactions with the Picts and other tribes in the region.
