While it shows it has been handled and listened to it is still a good copy. Some wear along the spine there is some bow to the front cover (I don't know why) but the tapes are in very good condition. Title: THE PLAGUE TALES Author: Ann Benson Read By: Juliet Stevenson Year: 1997 Length: Abridged Category: Historical Medical Mystery Suspense Actual Length Tapes: 360 min., on 4 tapes Fourteenth-century physician Alejandro Guzman, caught performing an autopsy in Spain, flees across Europe at the time of the Black Death to escape execution for his heretical deed. When he arrives in the Papal city of Avignon, he is conscripted against his will to serve as a Plague Doctor in the court of England's Edward III. Unfolding in a dramatic counterpoint is the story of American medical archaeologist Janie Crowe, in England at the turn of the 21st century to recover from the tragic loss of her family. She digs up a medieval artifact as part of her research and unwittingly releases a deadly plague bacterium on an unprepared world. These two unwilling heroes from two different centuries are linked by history and defined by circumstance. Here are their stories - the plague tales.
