I sometimes wish that someone would pick up and add to the series as there is still much history that could be added.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13374129092320552753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501637376776622578.post-126174713427243912012-10-03T07:24:13.625-07:002012-10-03T07:24:13.625-07:00I have read this series several times and never ge...I have read this series several times and never get tired of it!

For me that would have been in the early 1950s, about age twelve. I read them again in my thirties & again now at age seventy-three. I will pass the seven books on as a set, to my daughters & their daughters. The continuity of family life down through the decades cannot help but broaden ones concept of birth, love & eventually death, as a new generation comes into its own!<br />Sandra Wilson<br />Oak View, CASandra Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459259148772406247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501637376776622578.post-26386329605253573492011-07-18T14:38:30.287-07:002011-07-18T14:38:30.287-07:00My mother had read the series as a teenager; when ...My mother had read the series as a teenager; when we lived at Fort(ress) Monroe in the late 70s we spend weeks at Williamsburg and purchased the series for the house. She won't let me have that set, but I'm assembling my own. I reread "Dawn's Early Light" at least once a year when I'm home and have "Yankee Stranger", "Ever After" (which I just finished today), and "The Light Heart" for my own library.<br /><br />My favorites are the first three and "Homing".thefunrevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14889687050520736163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501637376776622578.post-68214506547448922072011-07-07T21:23:04.247-07:002011-07-07T21:23:04.247-07:00I have read and reread these wonderful books over ...I have read and reread these wonderful books over and over and enjoy every moment!

Now, 55 years later, I am rereading them. I am fascinated to find I sometimes recognize a turn of phrase after all these years. I've read the first three so far. I had to buy most of them off ebay because the library only had two of them. I'll give them to the library when I'm done.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008047038353499836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501637376776622578.post-49313645656320216522010-04-10T09:32:36.994-07:002010-04-10T09:32:36.994-07:00Loved this series when I was a girl and am enjoyin...Loved this series when I was a girl and am enjoying them all again 30 years later. I have to disagree with this reviewer that the last two books in the series are the "weaker links". Those are actually my favorites after Yankee Stranger. My heart always responds to Mab.
