Book Description:
Jean M. Auels enthralling Earths Children series has become a literary phenomenon, beloved by readers around the world. In a brilliant novel as vividly authentic and entertaining as those that came before, Jean M. Auel returns us to the earliest days of humankind and to the captivating adventures of the courageous woman called Ayla.
With her companion, Jondalar, Ayla sets out on her most dangerous and daring journey--away from the welcoming hearths of The Mammoth Hunters and into the unknown. Their odyssey spans a beautiful but sparsely populated and treacherous continent, the windswept grasslands of Ice Age Europe, casting the pair among strangers.
Some will be intrigued by Ayla and Jondalar, with their many innovative skills, including the taming of wild horses and a wolf; others will avoid them, threatened by what they cannot understand; and some will threaten them. But Ayla, with no memory of her own people, and Jondalar, with a hunger to return to his, are impelled by their own deep drives to continue their trek across the spectacular heart of an unmapped world to find that place they can both call home.

Debra L. (New York Times best seller. Book 4 in the Earth's Children series. This book continues the awesome saga of Ayla, a woman of early prehistoric times. This is a very pleasant romp through the Ice Ages. In this novel, Ayla leaves the safety of her tribe, the Mammoth Hunters, to travel across the continent of Europe during the dawn of mankind. She is accompanied by her horses, her wolf and her male companion, Jondalar. Together they experience many adventures as they seek a place to call their own. This series has become a world wide phenomenon. It is a must read for all ages. I have never read such an ambitious series and I don't think there has ever been another to compare. The epic begins with CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR. The Earth's Children series is a prehistoric "Gone With The Wind".
June P. (I Loved all the Clan Bear Series and hope someone has been waiting for this oone and enjoys it!!
Forth book in the Earth's Children series - starting with: The Clan of the Cave Bear with Ayla and her friend Jondalar continuing their journey. Enjoyable, and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

With her companion, Jondalar, Ayla sets out on her most dangerous and daring journey-away from the welcoming hearth of the Mammoth Hunters and into the unknown. Their odyssey spans a beautiful but treacherous continent, the windswept grasslands of Ice Age Europe, casing the bold pair among strangers. Some will become friends, intrigued by Ayla's ways of taming wild horses and wolves. Others will become fierce enemies, threatened by what they cannot understand. But always the orphaned Ayla and the wandering Jondalar will heed the voice and vision that urges them on, deeper into the dark and spectacular heart of an unmapped world. For they are driven to reach that place of earth they can call home. Together, they hold their future in their hands.
Kathleen B. (this is my favorite series. I love Ayla. She is an excellent role model. I'm posting this paperback as I've finally gotten a decent hardcover copy. I wore out the first book in the series. (mind you it was a worn copy to begin with...)
