Cadfael Series Set 4 IV 3-Disc Box Set DVD

Medieval England comes marvelously alive! Sir Derek Jacobi (I, Claudius; Gladiator) stars as a 12th-century Benedictine monk, former Crusader, and compassionate man who uses his worldly knowledge and keen intuition to solve baffling and brutal crimes. Based on the best-selling novels by Ellis Peters, the series was a huge hit on PBS's Mystery! The Pilgrim of Hate Brother Cadfael, the Sherlock Holmes of the medieval world, discovers a corpse among the parade of the infirm and diseased taking refuge in the abbey. The struggle between faith and dogma that rings through all of the Cadfael mysteries takes center stage in this story. The Potter's Field The brothers of the Shrewsbury monastery are doing some innocent backyard plowing when they turn up a murder victim's corpse--perhaps that of the former wife of their own Brother Ruald. The Potter's Field is a terrific mystery, filled with compelling human drama as well as a knotty riddle with a shocking solution The Holy Thief Suspicion falls on the holy, the holier-than-thou, and the unholy when the sacred relics of Saint Winifred are stolen from the abbey and the pious prior of a fallen monastery and a greedy land baron both lay claim to them. Kidnapping, the jewel robbery, and murder only complicate the efforts of Brother Cadfael to separate holy miracle from worldly conspiracy.
