The Benediction of Brother Cadfael
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a wonderful introduction to the joyous world of Brother Cadfael, 12th century monk and amateur sleuth. The second book, especially is a solid beginning of the Cadfael journey. It is my all time favourite. Stunningly written it is a gentle clever read without any of the gratuitous violence, sex and nastiness so prevalent in most novels. Books for adult, teenager and child alike. 10 out of 10.
A wonderful coffee-table book about your favorite monk.

"The Benediction of Brother Cadfael" is a wonderful introduction for anyone unfamiliar with the murder-solving "Brother Herbalist" of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul in Shrewsbury. It also makes a wonderful gift for those already in love with the good brother.This oversized volume contains the complete text of the first two "Brother Cadfael" novels, seperated by a lovely illustrated section discussing medieval Benedictine life, Shrewsbury, the Welsh border, St. Winifrid, the Abbey (which is still in existence) and other items of interest.Enjoy this wonderful book. A solid four stars.
