About this listen

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.

I have always enjoyed these stories but D J

Wonderful performance

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.

An enjoyable listen

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.

Really good

The atmosphere created. The descriptions of each character. The old worldly way of saying everyday things.
