The Brother Cadfael mysteries are a series of historical fiction set in
12th century England. Brother Cadfael, a Benedictine monk of the Abbey in
Shrewsbury, is an amateur herbalist and part-time detective. Written by
Edith Pargeter who often used the pen name Ellis Peters, they have become
popular with mystery fans throughout the world. Some of the stories have
already been adapted for television and shown on Public Television's
Thursday Mystery Broadcasts.
