About this book
These three short stories form a prequel to the Ellis Peters series featuring Brother Cadfael, a medieval monk detective. The first story describes the circumstances around Brother Cadfael’s decision to renounce his former life and become a monk. The second and third stories give Brother Cadfael the opportunity to solve mysteries that occur at Shrewsbury Abbey in the years just preceding the first full-length Brother Cadfael novel.
