-=>While in the White Hart, Susan Bulla explained to Fred Runk that<=-
 SB> I've moved on from "Silver Pigs" to "Shadows in Bronze."
SILVER PIGS, if I remember it correctly, was a sad one.
 FR> The "Brother Cadfael" series is a great favorite of 
 FR> mine--unfortunately, Ellis
 FR> Peters died recently--she will be missed.
 SB> I've not read any of these but will do so as soon as I can lay hands
 SB> on one at the local used book store.
Interesting, and also informative books.  I've a slight problem though with
the PBS MYSTERY dramatizations of them though.  My picture of Brother
Cadfael differs radically from Derek Jacoby?  Think that's his name--he
played Claudius in the MASTERPIECE THEATRE version of I, CLAUDIUS.
 FR>  The Judge Dee mysteries are also interesting--
 FR> although I'm uncertain as to
 FR> their authorship.  I'm not sure whether they were all 
 FR> written by Van Gulik in
 FR> the 20th century, or were Chinese tales which he translated, or are a
 FR> combination of the two--some he translated and some he wrote himself.
 SB> I'd like to try this series, too.
It's a very different legal system.  Judge Dee is judge and investigator.
