4.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful coffee-table book about your favorite monk.,
By David Zampino "21st Century Hobbit" (Delavan, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Benediction of Brother Cadfael (Brother Cadfael Mysteries) (Hardcover)
"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.

The Benediction of Brother Cadfael,
By
This review is from: The Benediction of Brother Cadfael (Brother Cadfael Mysteries) (Hardcover)
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. |
