When I saw the blurbs for the
Cadfael Mysteries on PBS years ago, I was greatly interested. I enjoy reading
and learning about times in 12th century Britain. I am also a great fan of
Derek Jacobi. I had never read any of the books before watching the series. I
have since read a few of the books, and they are very well written and
researched.
However, I just loved
WATCHING things take place. You can really “feel” the atmosphere of that long
ago time and the very harsh way of life. And Jacobi is such a wonderful actor.
He really nailed the character of Brother Cadfael. I have found that sometimes
when I’ve seen a movie or TV adaptation of a book, I can enjoy the book(s) more
when I have specific people to “see” as they go about the book.
Colin Towns wrote the theme. LOVED IT!! I enjoy Gregorian style
chant and medieval music anyway, and this is just so lovely.
