Hermitage, Wat and Some Druids
About this ebook
Is it a murder mystery? Is it a thriller? Is it just something gone horribly wrong?
When his nemesis, the Norman conqueror Le Pedvin orders him to Wales, Brother Hermitage knows it is going to go wrong. He's had a prophecy it's going to go wrong. And from his first steps on the road it strides firmly in that direction.
Brother Hermitage, Wat, weaver of pornographic tapestry and Cwen, weaver in her own right and the fiercest of the lot, are commanded to find one dead Norman in the whole of Wales - as usual under pain of death.
Add to that some treasure and a druid curse or two, and we have the recipe for a laugh out loud historical tale like no other. (Apart from the other Chronicles of Brother Hermitage)
It's all complicated enough, but when what seems like the whole of the country wants to join in, things get very messy.
And then there are the druids, and stone circles, and sacrifices....
"he who has laughter on his side has no need of proof" Theodore Adorno

About the author
Howard of Warwick: the world's best selling author of medieval crime comedy.
And now an official No. 1 Best Seller around the globe...
Paperbacks are available from The Funny Book Shop: https://funnybookcompany.com/
Unfortunately, Howard has written his name in some of them....
"Very, very good indeed... brilliant" BBC Coventry and Warwick.
Nearly 200,000 have graced his bookstall and more than 1,000 reviewers say things like "hilarious", "laugh out loud funny" and "stupid".
Howard is simply a humble chronicler with the blind luck to stumble upon the Brother Hermitage manuscripts. This young monk is clearly the archetype for many characters down the centuries but somehow, over the intervening years, those later figures started to know what they were doing. Brother Hermitage is more like Cadfael meets Clouseau.
Howard's work has been heard, seen and read, most of it accompanied by laughter and some of it by money. His peers have even seen fit to recognise his unworthy efforts with a prize for making up stories.
There are so many tales that they're starting to get out of hand: 31 Chronicles of Brother Hermitage, 3 historical "re-creations", a little something for Christmas and even some free short stories.
There is a dedicated web page www.Howardofwarwick.com. Dedicated to what, is a good question.
