Cranford I bought this after seeing the wonderful series on BBC 1 staring Judy Dench, Imelda Staunton, Michael Gambon and so many others. It is never a good idea to read the book before or after watching something dramatised - either on TV or film and I suppose this is no different. (The book is usually far superior!) You can't help comparing it to the characters from Cranford on BBC 1! Quite a few things are different - notably the stories are told very much separately and not intertwined as they were on BBC... more info
This book includes all of the source material for the TV series This isn't really a review because I haven't read the book. However, I bought it because I was looking for a version to include "Cranford", "My Lady Ludlow" and "Mr Harrison's Confessions" which are the 3 works used as source for the TV series. Failing to find such a book on Amazon I decided to start with this one. Now that I has arrived I can see that all 3 works ARE included - together with an extra story "The Cage at Cranford". It is bizarre that this isn't made clear when you buy the book!
