As a long-time Brother Cadfael fan, I feel that Sir Derek Jacobi's reading of these Cadfael novels is as good as - if not better than - the excellent full-cast TV movies he starred in. He is absolutely amazing. Due to his portrayal of Brother Cadfael on TV, I naturally hear and see him as Brother Cadfael in my head. What's truly spectacular, though, is how well he also inflects each of the other characters, as well. Truly masterful, and I never tire of listening to his performance of these stories. No other narrator captures the essence of the characters or stories nearly as well. I only wish Sir Jacobi would narrate the other Cadfael novels, I would buy them in a heartbeat!
