Second volume in the Brother Cadfael series. Recommended by Jerri C. Of the ATS and DES email discussion groups. " In 1976, at the age of 63, Edith Pargeter (Pen name Ellis Peters) , who had had a long career as an author, having written dozens of books, including 12 volumes in a series about Detective Felse, created Brother Cadfael. This former crusader turned monk struck a cord with the public and inspired the popular British "Mystery" series seen in the U. S. On public television. The TV series did not usually follow the books closely. Twenty Brother Cadfael books were published before her death in 1994. Ellis Peters took great pains to get her history correct. The books are set during an English civil war between King Stephen and Empress Maud during the 12th century. The characters in these books are very real, and the plots have charm.
