This brand new paperback collection gathers all six epic novels charting the extraordinary life of Ayla, an orphaned Cro-Magnon girl raised among Neanderthals. A landmark of prehistoric fiction blending careful archaeological research with a sweeping tale of survival, identity and love, this set is essential reading for historical fiction fans and a wonderful gift.

About the Books
The saga opens with The Clan of the Cave Bear, in which young Ayla loses her family in an earthquake and is adopted by the Clan, a tribe of Neanderthals whose customs differ from her own. In The Valley of Horses, forced to leave the Clan and her young son, Ayla strikes out alone across the frozen steppes, eventually settling in a hidden valley where she meets Jondalar, a Cro-Magnon traveller. The Mammoth Hunters follows the pair as they journey to the Mamutoi people, testing new loyalties. The Plains of Passage sends Ayla and Jondalar across an entire continent on a perilous journey home to his people, the Zelandonii. In The Shelters of Stone, the couple finally reach the Ninth Cave of the Zelandonii in south-west France, where Ayla must find her place while sharing her knowledge. The series concludes with The Land of Painted Caves, in which Ayla balances motherhood with her training to become a Zelandoni, a spiritual healer, bringing her extraordinary journey full circle. Together, the six novels form one of the best-loved works of prehistoric fiction, praised for its vivid recreation of Ice Age life.
