I have not read it, but I believe that the title of the book described
whose main character's name is Caradoc is "The Eagle and the Raven".
It is by Pauline Gedge.  I just saw it advertised in a bulletin from
Books on Tape.

Books on Tape, incidentally, is a great source of unabridged
readings of books on cassette tape.  You lease a set of tapes for 30
days for $10-15.  The readings are normally good, sometimes excellent;
and the selection of books, while light on SF, is very large.  If you
have a long commute to work or are just weary a the end of the day and
would like to read with your eyes closed lying in a comfortable
position without having to hold a book over your head, check it out.
They ship tapes via whatever class of mail you are willing to pay for.
The tapes arrive in a paper wrapper; when you tear it off, revealed is
a box of tapes with address and postage already affixed for easy return
to BOT.  They seem to have their act together.  Their address is:

		Books On Tape
		Box 7900
		Newport Beach, CA  92660

They'll send you a free  brochure describing their rental program.  It also
describes a few "best sellers" that they offer.  The drawback is that
their catalog is fairly large such that they charge you $5 for it
(possibly with some kind of deal where you get a credit on your first
rental or something -- I don't remember)  By the way, if you mention my
name to them, I get a free book rental if and when you rent your first 
book.  (Honestly, I didn't even think of that until I'd typed all of the
above in ...)
