1.		Cranford : Complete BBC Series [2007] from 2 Entertain Video Price: £9.98 Customer Review: Absolutely brilliant adaptation and a great ensemble cast. I have to single out Eileen Atkins performance as the one which affected me most - the scene where she sits struggling with her ideas of convention as to whether she can attend the funeral in support of her friend is breathtakingly good - so... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Lark Rise to Candleford: A Trilogy: "Lark Rise"; "Over to Candleford"; "Candleford Green" from Penguin Classics Price: £6.19 Customer Review: I have just finished reading this delightful book and recommend it highly, especially if you are interested in social history. It is a nice gentle read and very informative of village life and village people in the late 1800's. Flora writes with great insight and foresight about the many people she... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		North and South from Penguin Classics Price: £2.00 Customer Review: I have not seen the TV adaptation of North and South and only picked up the book because it was a present. I'm so glad I did. I was spellbound within a few pages. Elizabeth Gaskell, who I would also compare favourably with Jane Austen, is a brilliant writer. Her use of words conjure vivid... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Wives and Daughters (Wordsworth Classics) (Wordsworth Classics) from Wordsworth Editions Ltd Price: £1.99 Customer Review: If you've seen the adaptation of this neglected classic, then you'll already know the storyline. Suffice to say that the book is even better, because it fleshes out more of the secondary characters, such as Lady Harriet, the Squire and Lady Hamley. What makes the book such a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Lark Rise to Candleford: A Trilogy (Penguin Modern Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: £3.99 Customer Review: Fans of the BBC adaptation should give this a wide berth if they are expecting witty tales of honest farm folks told in the style of Catherine Cookson. For example, the Pratt Sisters whose ludicrous antics and matching outfits took up so much of the BBC series, have little more than one page in the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Sense & Sensibility : Complete BBC Series [2008] from 2 Entertain Video Price: £7.98 Customer Review: This series is full of passion, drama and humour. All of the actors are great, and I especially like Hattie Morahan as Elinor. In a very convincing way she manages to portrait Elinor as a warm, intelligent woman with strong feelings underneath her restrained surface. I just love it!

9.		The Uncommon Reader from Profile Books Ltd Price: £3.86 Customer Review: A very humorous and entertaining story about the Queen and one of her servants revolving around the Queen's growing addiction to English literature. Although the situation is preposterous, Bennett has a way of drawing one into the story and it starts to seem plausible. Alan Bennett made... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Heatherley: The Lost Sequel to "Lark Rise to Candleford" from John Owen Smith Price: £7.49 Customer Review: Concentrating on Flora Thompsons time as a post office assistant in Grayshott, Hampshire. Heatherley continues in the same beautifully written vein as the more well known Lark Rise to Candleford stories. I finished this book in a day or so and found I just couldn't put it down. Like Lark Rise, this... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
