Brother Cadfael Books to be released as eBooks

I really enjoyed the Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael series, so I am very excited that this popular historical mystery series -- The Chronicles of Brother Cadfael -- will be released as eBooks for the first time on August 5, 2014.  This should introduce the series to a whole new generation of readers.

The first book, A Morbid Taste for Bones, was published in 1977. The series was adapted into a wonderful television show on PBS Mystery! with Derek Jacobi playing Cadfael. With terrific local setting and historical details, the Cadfael Series is an iconic  series that portrays life between AD 1120 and AD 1145, during a period of conflict for the British crown. 

Ellis Peters is regarded as the Queen of Historical Mystery Fiction, with the British Crime Writers' Association establishing their Ellis Peters Historical Award for the best historical crime novel of the year.

    They have put out all but the short stories so I will try to get an answer from Mysterious Press about that. Prices always vary so look for bargains on the e-books. But I am so grateful because the print is too small to read in the original paperback and holding hardcovers is getting more difficult.

    Mysterious Press wrote back right away. The short stories are also coming out Aug 5. The volume just got lost in the large number of reissues. My bliss is complete! Thank you, Janet!
