The Clan of the Cave Bear, the Valley of Horses, the Mammoth Hunters, the Plains of Passage (Earth's Children #1-4)
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 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.

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
This series follows one of my favourite heroines ever. I know if I had to be critical you could point out how unrealistic she is since she's amazing at everything she tries her hand at and everybody loves her, but she's so likeable it's easy to ignore this and get swept along with her story. There are so many times I'm impressed by her smarts and others where I just plain envy her life (pet lion! Wolf! Horses!) but the balance between adventure and comfortable periods where relationships can
The Clan of the Cave Bear series follows Ayla, a homo-erectus woman brought up by Neanderthals (literally), who is banished, finds love with her own people and travels all over prehistoric Europe. I love them. I picked up the third book in the series, "The Mammoth Hunters" out of boredom when I was in the 8th grade. My mom saw me reading it and told me I couldn't. I then hid it under my bed and read it anyway. It was the only time she'd told me I couldn't read a book, and I wanted to know why.
Ayla's story is amazing. I read "Clan of the Cave Bear" when it was first published and the others as soon as they came out. Auel is a good writer who has done extensive research into the time period in which her story is set. For the most part, I couldn't put down these books. I could have done without the repetitive sex scenes, as I don't feel they added much to the story except for a few that were integral to Ayla's development as a woman. I cried right along with Ayla when Iza died, when she
Awesome books! I've been reading these authors books for yrs!

I read all the books in this series and yes they were very good.. I loved the story line...it was great to see how Ayla was able to survive with the Clan by adapting, then later in each of the various clans or tribes that she met .. It's her personal growth as a woman..It's very much a study of social life...though very similar to today in a sense that not everyone is accepted in their social environment.... Overall I enjoyed the books very much....my big negative issue about all the books isThis 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.
