About this listen

This collection of recordings about Brother Cadfaelóa Benedictine monk and amateur sleuth in the 12th centuryó 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.

Very good particularly as the reader is Brother Cadfael himself! Derek Jacobi brings the story to life. I would certainly recommend.

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.

Love it

A delight to listen to with Derek Jacobs’s performance. I read these books many years ago and thoroughly enjoyed listening to them .

I have loved Ellis Peter’s writings since teenage. There is a compassion in the stance that Cadfael takes that is compelling by it’s quiet bravery. In a world that is becoming more polarised it is good to read of an unlikely hero who sees all sides and the path of justice. Derek Jacobi’s interpretation of a character he played so brilliantly is wonderful. Thank you.

The infinite shades of grey in life that Cadfael negotiates with peace and respect.
