The Miracle of Saint Winifred
When the price of sin is too high. The first volume of the legendary historical mysteries featuring Brother Cadfael.
After a life of varied adventures, the worldly-wise Brother Cadfael has taken refuge in the monastery at Shrewbury, where he is a gardener and is particularly proud of his herb garden. The year is 1137 and the Prior decides to acquire the remains of the Welsh martyr Winifred for the Abbey. Brother Cadfael travels with the group to Gwytherin to interpret the negotiations as a native Welshman. On arrival, however, they find that the attempt to transport the relics is met with resistance from the local people, led by Grand Duke Rhisiart. He is also murdered immediately afterwards. Some claim that Winifred herself has pierced it with a mysterious arrow, but Cadfael suspects that the bow was gripped by a mortal hand, so he sets out to investigate.

Pavel Soukup
(* 1948) He studied journalism at Charles University and then successfully graduated from DAMU. After his studies, he worked in regional theatres, later returning to Prague, where he played in Prague's Municipal Theatres, especially in the ABC Theatre, and became a member of the ensemble of the Musical Theatre in Karlín. He is well known from television screens - since 1980 he has appeared in TV cartoons, comedies and also in series (e.g. The Necklace, Life in the Castle, The Rose Garden). But his voice is far more well-known - partly thanks to his many documentaries, for which he made a comment, and as Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice actor, Robin Williams, Gérard Depardieu, Michael Douglas, Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis or Robert Redford. He also lent his voice to the cartoon characters from the Toy Story films: Toy Story, 101 Dalmatians or Flushed. He has received several awards for his mastery of dubbing.
