This is Headline's 20th Anniversary Edition. This is the classic Bother Cadfael tales. The story of Cadfael's entry into the monastery at Shrewsbury was known only to a few, but this book uncovers the chain of events that led him into the Benedictine Order. These tales show Cadfael at the height of his sleuthing form, with the complexities of plot, vividly evoked Shropshire backgrounds and warm understanding of the frailties of human nature that made Ellis Peters an international bestseller.
