I've read and collected a lot of the Brother Cadfael books and I've come to the conclusion that I'll probably never read any of them again. So here they are for someone else to try!

The England of 1141 is a land torn by civil strife. Seeking refuge in Shrewsbury are the badly-crippled Brother Humilis and the mute Fidelis, his devoted attendant. All is well until Nicholas, once Humilis' squire, resolves to pay court to the girl who was once his lord's affianced bride, and comes to ask his blessing on the suit. Then a latent tragedy becomes a present reality, and only the ever-indefatigable Brother Cadfael can distinguish between the innocent and the guilty

Passed to me by Julie when I made puppy-dog eyes at her! I'm on a mission to read the last few Cadfael books that I haven't yet -- thought this was one, but may have actually read it...

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

I had indeed read this one before (in fact, I even had a copy on my shelf here!). Still, I enjoyed reading it again.

Leaving this in the city centre somewhere!
