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.

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.

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

Brilliantly conceived stories, wonderfully written and with great care taken with regard to historical accuracy, told by a true master of the spoken word.

Never Disappoints.
Derek Jacobi reading his iconic representations of his famous Brother Cadfael personification. Pure magic. No one else can substitute! Ellis Peters writing brought to life.

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