About This Item
London, UK: Futura Publications/Macdonald & Co Publishers Ltd, 1985. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6. A Mediaeval Whodunnit. Mass Market Paperback in Very Good Condition. A very nice bright, colorful, clean, unmarked cover; a touch of wear to spine ends. Solid and square binding. Pages toned, clean and unmarked. The 8th Chronicle of Brother Cadfael, of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, of Shrewsbury. Brother Cadfael's life in the monastery is not as quiet as he may have expected. In the twelfth-century Brother Cadfael settled down to a quiet life in charge of the herbarium at the Benedictine Abbey--at age 60 or so--after a life of adventure. A new novice at the monastery disturbs its peace with violent nightmares, thus the nickname 'the devil's novice'. Is he involved in the nearby disappearance of a superior prelate? Brother Cadfael investigates to find the truth behind the young monk's problem. 191 pages. 12mo. First published in 1983. This is a 1985 reprint of the 1985 edition.
