A book that caters to specific interests; it provides a discussion of Brother Cadfael's herbs and what they may have been used for, including illustration and discussion from both the Cadfael Chronicles and medieval herbals. If you're interested in the herbal aspects of Brother Cadfael's adventures, this book will fascinate you.

Nice coffee table book with lovely photographs of cottages in the heart of England. I look at it more than read it.

Excellent lexicon for the fictional and real aspects of 12th century England and Wales that are found in this excellent series by Ellis Peters.

Beautiful photographs. Quotes throughout from Ellis Peters books on Brother Cadfael; his use of plants as medicine or just references in general...makes one forget he's a fictional character ! Listing (Chronicles)of every book each plant is mentioned in (A to Z chapters).
