Brother Cadfael (Click here for pronunciation notes) is a 12th Century Monk and Herbalist at the Abbey of St Peter & St Paul in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. In his youth he was a warrior and fought in the Crusades. He has now donned the cowl and solves mysteries with his friend, the Sherriff of Shropshire.

The music from the Cadfael series is available on a soundtrack album "Cadfael" (Angel 7243-8-370862-8). Here's a sample of the opening theme as a .WAV file (395k) or a .ZIP file (215k). You might also enjoy "Sinners & Saints" by Philip Pickett and the New London Consort. It is a collection of Medieval & Renaissance tunes just perfect for reading Cadfael. I put those two and a couple of Gregorian Chant CD's in the CD changer and hit "Random Play". Great!Back to Links List
