Explanation Concering Books The Clan of the Cave Bear, the Valley of Horses, the Mammoth Hunters, the Plains of Passage (Earth's Children #1-4)
This is listed a little strangley, but The Clan of the Cave Bear, The Valley of Horses and The Mammoth Hunters are actually three seperate books in Jean M. Auel's Earth's Children series. I have read these first three which were wonderful and am currently on book 4 in the series, The Plains of Passage.The series follows Ayla, a cro-magnon child who is orphaned by an earthquake and then rescued and taken in by The Clan (neaderthals)circa 10,000 B.C. The books are meticulously researched and she has received many accolades for how historically accurate her information is. I have to warn you the is A LOT of miuntia (details on the land, animals, plants that lived at that time), but once you get used to it you will be hooked and need to know what happens to the little blonde girl. Many themes in the book such as stereotypes and predjudice ring true with today's society as well.

This is an absolutely amazing series that is based in the caveman-era of our history and follows the lead character, Ayla, through many difficult -- and often dangerous -- times in her life. Starting in early childhood, when she is orphaned by an earthquake and then subsequently adopted by a family of 'cavemen,' as it were, Ayla leads a very troubled life. She is of a different race, one more similar in appearance to today's humans than the ape-like neanderthals who take her in. Because of theseIf you're going to read the Earth's Children series, I personally recommend you just stick with Clan of the Cave bear, but if you absolutely insist on going further, I feel that the first four (out of six books) are the best in the series. Things could drag on a bit in the third and fourth books but we still had plenty of good storylines, things don't really get bad until Book 5. So do yourself a favor and if you want to maintain fond memories of this series, stop with book 4.
Ayla is probably my favorite female character. She is strong, smart and spiritual. The books are long, and the later ones (there is a fifth not listed, Shelters of Stone) at times get too detailed and wordy. Almost too much repetitive description of the landscape. I believe she was trying to get the reader to really "feel" the different geographic areas - but it was a bit of overkill.As for the main characters, as I said Ayla is a strong,capable woman who faces many dangers, be it from a clan
Awesome books! I've been reading these authors books for yrs!
Simply wonderful. As Ayla escapes her tormentor in her clan by being chased out for having used a weapon (forbidden to women, by Clan law), she goes through a phase of self discovery. Her heart was torn by the loss of her son, a half-breed, she was forced to abandon to his father, who had banished her as soon as he became Clan Chief, despising her for her strength and her independence, because he feared her amazing ability to adapt and survive against all odds, even though she lacked the

I love all historical fiction books, especially books about pre history. I have read all of these books and I can say that the first one is the best. The story is original with the two separate humanoids living at the same time. My biggest complain about the writing has always been the dialogs. And how the story is told twice, first in the narrative and then second in the dialogue. For example when the main character noticed that flint made sparks down by the river she ran back and told the
