The Summer of the Danes

Brother Cadfael finds May 1144 rather more eventful than anticipated, with a scandalous marriage, a missing girl, a corpse discovered, and the arrival of the Danish mercenary fleet. Read by TV’s Brother Cadfael, Derek Jacobi.

An inconvenient daughter, a scandalous marriage, a Danish mercenary fleet, a missing girl and a corpse discovered...Brother Cadfael, eagerly journeying to Wales as an interpreter for the Bishop of Lichfield's envoy, finds the month of May 1144 rather more dramatic than he had expected it to be when he left the Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul.

Ellis Peters' eighteenth chronicle of Brother Cadfael is a delight in every way – intriguing, gripping and immaculately researched.
