Just for fun...

I stumbled across this online catalog of stories about prehistoric man, from old boys adventure tales of the early twentieth century through today.

I love some of the old silkscreened graphics on the hardcovers... I love trawling this sort of cultural memorabilia.

Ahem! Yes, I still have The Clan of the Cave Bear and The Valley of the Horses by Jean M Auel (an American writer) on my bookshelf - I didn't get around to reading The Mammoth Hunters or The Plains of Passage by the same author. They were actually recommended by someone who used to post here - few light years back.

Currently, have almost finished the more up to date Owl Killers by Karen Maitland which (quote) "neatly catches the spirit of primitive superstition" ie the church against paganism set in 1321, an un-upliftiing fictional account of what is sometimes still referred to as the Dark Ages.
