DR Dakota have you watched DAUGHTER’S & WIFES and NORTH & SOUTH?
I have not seen DAughters and Wifes...
I have seen North and South and love it. I would love to get the DVDs of that series. I have also seen the miniseries that was based on John Jakes Kent Family Chronicles.
I tend to really enjoy well done miniseries of Historical dramas. I would love to see Tudor. I have heard a lot about it not only on this board but from othes who have seen it. In the case of The Far Pavilions, I read the book before the miniseries. Loved the book and I still do. I have re-read it several times. I read Centennial after I saw the miniseries. We had a student teacher was originally from INdia and she taught us about the country and I was curious. I also liked Hawaii.
I love the historical dramas and masterpiece interpretations of literature on Masterpiece Theatre. And yes, I did watch avidly the few months when they were doing the Jane Austen ones. One of my favorite authors.
Another book I saw adapted to telly that I really liked was Flame Trees of Thika. I remember seeing the program air on PBS and the read the book. I also liked Long Road to Coorain.
I have discovered books are a wonderful escape and a great way to travel to far off exotic lands.
