what a lovely lady and what a pleasure to read all her books. My history teacher told us about that time and I went to Montignac and Lascaux and saw all those beautifull art of the Earthchildren. And reading her books brings back those lovely memeories. Thank you mrs Auel!!!!

This was a formative part of my youth- reading these books. Made me think about life and love in a more.. flexible way. <3
