The First Chronicle of Brother Cadfael

This book might be part of the Brother Cadfael series.

Rezensionen

hat A Morbid Taste for Bones von Ellis Peters besprochen (Brother Cadfael, #1)

I feel its not as good as later books in the series

Must have read this decades ago, then stumbled across a very cheaply made copy in a street library a few months ago and picked it up. Rubbish paper, binding is falling apart, on re-reading it I'm wondering if I ever did read this, the first of the series? Enjoyable enough, I think too much of my memories of the series and characters are from later books that I've read more than once over the years
