Oh goody! I read 'Cranford' after watching the series and it was nice to have images in my mind of the people, the town, the houses, and the fashions. The British do all that So Well!Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-31352711631844142572013-04-27T08:39:07.077-04:002013-04-27T08:39:07.077-04:00I loved the series (I also watched it on dvd from ...I loved the series (I also watched it on dvd from my library) and would like to read the books, too. I've also watched Cranford, and have the book on my shelf to read. I think we must be kindred spirits!Kathy A.

I now have Series 3 of Lark Rise on hold at the library and can hardly wait to see what will happen next.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-43291626375211806372013-04-23T23:05:39.070-04:002013-04-23T23:05:39.070-04:00Well, Belle, you already know of my love of this s...Well, Belle, you already know of my love of this series. You capture it so well in your words here. I like Queenie as well. She is kind and good and respects man and nature in equal parts, though how she puts up with Twister is beyond me, though she loves him, doesn't she? I really should read this series, as well as Cranford, which is such a wonderful series. <br /><br />Penny O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665025558373015362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-62774567798528185192013-04-22T15:01:48.923-04:002013-04-22T15:01:48.923-04:00Kat, it is probably considered boring because ther...Kat, it is probably considered boring because there is no endless sex and violence. I like this sort of 'costume drama' because it is pleasant to watch and I know that I won't have to hide my eyes from any gory scenes. I am glad to hear you enjoyed the books and will look forward to reading them.<br /><br />Did you see or read 'Cranford'? The action there takes place about 50 years earlier than the Candleford stories.

I enjoyed the books, and will have to get the DVD. PBS has shown this series many times, but I've never sat down and watched the whole thing.Kathttp://mirabiledictu.orgnoreply@blogger.com
