NK - Doherty books

[Miriam Cook]

Last year (and I think the year before too) PBS aired a
series of Midieval mysteries called "Cadfael."  I thought
they were really good. Unfortunatly I did not have a
functional VCR at the time a could not record them.  They
are apperently for sale however...

Cadfael 
   The Leper of St. Giles 
   Monk's Hood 
   One Corpse Too Many 
   The Sanctuary Sparrow 
   St. Peter's Fair 
   The Virgin in Ice 
   The Devil's Novice 
WGBH Boston Video (800)255-9424

"I'd like the whole series, please.")
