Read how it all started on the author's website HERE.
I am currently reading the first book in this lengthy series and really enjoying it. I've been hearing about this series ever since I found the historical fiction genre and I think I've put off starting it because of the size or just because there are only so many hours in the day. However, I am now on a mission to collect them all! This along with my Plaidy collecting will keep my busy for some time I'm sure!
At the moment, Sphere is publishing the new releases and Sourcebooks is re-releasing the series starting at the beginning. The books in between are still available at online retailers or local bookstores. I have included a link to the PTTP store on Amazon...just click on the title and it will take you to Amazon where you can read the description.
I plan on making this a static PAGE on PTTP (the links underneath the header), so you can always reference it if needed. I will also be adding the descriptions on the PAGE, I thought it would be too long of a post if I added it here.
For those of you who have read some or all we would love to hear your thoughts! Enjoy!

I've have eyed these for a while but I would probably loose interest after Elizabeth I. I would probably read the one concerning the Titanic though! Thanks for the post! Very helpful!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great series. I'm going to add them all to my wish list. Thanks for the links.
ReplyDelete:-0 I have the first book in my wishlist, but I did not realize there were so many books in the series! It sounds interesting--I'm looking forward to reading several of the books now!
ReplyDeleteWow this is so awesome how she keeps it moving, and it is a fantastic idea!!
ReplyDeleteI am much more inclined to read the series now that I know the subject matter in them. At first I thought it was going to be 34 books from the 1400's to the 1600s and I am so glad to see it progresses further. She is almost done, and I wonder if 34 is the last?
She is probably breathing a sigh of relief, the end is in sight!
Thanks for the post Amy!!
I just might have to follow in your footsteps and collect them all. =)
woo hoo
This looks like a fantastic series to sink your teeth into. Sourcebooks is the greatest for bringing back these kinds of books.
