Product ID: 132015718
Book 1 -- CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR -- Through Jean M. Auel’s magnificent storytelling we are taken back to the dawn of modern humans, and with a girl named Ayla we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world they shared with the ones who called themselves the Clan of the Cave Bear. A natural disaster leaves the young girl wandering alone in an unfamiliar and dangerous land until she is found by a woman of the Clan, people very different from her own kind. To them, blond, blue-eyed Ayla looks peculiar and ugly—she is one of the Others, those who have moved into their ancient homeland; but Iza cannot leave the girl to die and takes her with them. Iza and Creb, the old Mog-ur, grow to love her, and as Ayla learns the ways of the Clan and Iza’s way of healing, most come to accept her. But the brutal and proud youth who is destined to become their next leader sees her differences as a threat to his authority. He develops a deep and abiding hatred for the strange girl of the Others who lives in their midst, and is determined to get his revenge. Review: Nice boxed set - This item was a gift for my sister-in-law, who had read these books with her father when she was younger. He has since passed away, and the set of books he gave her was missing one, while the others were becoming worn. She was extremely happy to receive this set to reread so that she can preserve, as much as possible, the ones she received from her father. Although I am an avid reader, this isn't my type of book, so I am taking her word, and the word of one of my brothers, that this an an excellent series, well worth reading. The complete set was a good value. I am pleased with my purchase, especially because she was so pleased to receive it. Thank you. Review: Loved the series - I loved the series. Read the first one in College and found out that it was required reading for anthropologists and archaeologists in college. A lot of research was done and many agreed this was probably an approximation of life then.

Loved the series
I loved the series. Read the first one in College and found out that it was required reading for anthropologists and archaeologists in college. A lot of research was done and many agreed this was probably an approximation of life then.

As described
Almost perfect as the 5th book needs a jacket, but the seller said as much. I finally have my set.

Jean Auel created one of the best series to share with your Grandchildren!
I first read these books while assigned to the DEW Line and the location added to the realism Mrs. Auell so beautifully wove into her "Earth's Children" series. At the time only the first book was out and available but I fell totally in love with the era and the tribe of Neanderthals and their love for Ayla, the child that was so different from themselves. To me, it was a pathway for our own society to live with all the diversity of humans on Earth. But to my surprise one evening when saying my prayers I visualized God as the Mother and from that point on God has forever been both a Mother and Father to me. I wrote Jean a letter telling her how much I enjoyed her novel and she replied with the nicest thank you letter. I purchased these for my Grandchildren and I hope they get the same enjoyment and conceptions of mankind's potential.

very engrossing story line
This book series is for the person who wants to take a "vacation" from the modern day rat race and learn how humans lived in this time. It was survival at its extreme...socialization at it's most basic...and invention to solve everyday needs. To me, a wake up call that makes me question my "wants" and " needs". The writers depiction of terrain, flora and fauna is brilliantly depicted. Makes you feel like you're there.

Good Buy
I'm glad I could get the whole series (although there's talk of an eighth book, but I'm not sure). The books are pretty well made, although I do wish it had a cardboard container like other book collections have. But not at all a bad buy!
