Brother Cadfael audiobooks in order

Twelfth-century monastic mysteries, and one of the most confusing listings on the store: two entirely different sets of recordings, one roughly twice the length of the other.

Ellis PetersNarrated by Varies — Stephen Thorne reads the full-length recordings, Sir Derek Jacobi a much shorter set · 20 books

Which order should you listen in?

Publication order. Mostly self-contained mysteries, so you can dip in, though the monastery cast develops across the run. IMPORTANT: check the runtime before you buy — see the note below.
