Query: Great Collection

If you are a fan of really good detective historic mysteries and enjoy superb acting, this collection of the 13, of a total of 20, of the Brother Cadfael (a Benedictine monk in medieval England) books that were made into movies, is for you. (The books, by Ellis Peters, are also an excellent read.) Derek Jacobi is a terrific actor and is supported by great casts. The series is historically accurate and shows what life was really like in the twelveth century. Each story has been condensed into a movie of less that 1 1/2 hours but are throughly enjoyable and little of the books has been omitted so that there is no difficulty in enjoying the full story - unlike many books that are "condensed" to be made into movies.
