Summary
This collection of recordings about Brother Cadfael—a Benedictine monk and amateur sleuth in the 12th century—are performed here by the ideal actor. Sir Derek Jacobi, who portrayed Cadfael in several television adaptations, captivates listeners with his renderings of Monk's Hood, Saint Peter's Fair, The Heretic's Apprentice, The Potter's Field, The Summer of the Danes, and Brother Cadfael's Penance.

Lovely nostalgia trip
Highly enjoyable and well read by Derek Jacobi. Sound was very occasionally dodgy and dropped out or 'blipped'.

Brilliant I really enjoyed the books.
A fabulous voice to listen to. A really enjoyable listen. I’m looking forward to listening to further books narrated by the same person.

An enjoyable listen
I have read these books myself long ago and decided to buy the audible version recently. I was very happy with the narration but I would have liked to choose which book to read not have to listen one after the other at someone else's will. if there is a way to do this then I haven't found it yet and will search again, if not please arrange proceedings so that this is possible. thank you.

Really good
The only downside for me is the American introducer and one of the stories "The Summer of Danes", which really didn't feel like a Brother Cadfael. Other than that, this was really enjoyable.

Excellent performance
I love the books by Ellis Peters and who better than Sir Derek Jacobi, the original Cadfael to bring them to life.

Love it
I love the Cadfael stories & Derek Jacobi was wonderful in the BBC adaptations & does a wonderful job in narrating these stories. Cadfael the ex-crusader turned Benedictine monk solving mysteries. This is set in the 12th century & based around Shrewsbury Abbey. You get 6 stories in this collection & at close to 18 hours long is brilliant.

Lovely collection of stories
I really enjoyed this return to the word of Cadfael. Derek Jacobi reading it was a real treat as of course he played Cadfael in the TV series.
There is one oddity, an American (?) continuity chap gave the title of each story before it started. He had some odd pronunciations, especially of Jacobi, going for Jack-Obi rather than ja-kobi. Doesn’t spoil anything though.

Variable
The later tales are much more political and set in the history - so interesting but not quite what I expected.
