I was relatively new to Elizabeth Gaskell's stories, but my mom and I thoroughly enjoyed this collection!
Great Collection May 4, 2009

I had never heard of Elizabeth Gaskell until I saw a preview for Wives and Daughters on another BBC DVD. All three of these movies are extremely entertaining and well done. The acting is superb.
Swoon as Mr. Thornton (RIchard Armitage), in North and South, pines for Margaret. If you are In a mood for humor, watch Cranford. For a good, old-fashioned, dramatic romance, watch Wives and Daughters. I absolutely love this collection. The last scene in North and South is about the most romantic scene ever---I sometimes watch that scene a couple of times before turning off the DVD player :).
A great collection of Elizabeth Gaskell to own! April 28, 2009

I am a huge fan of period pieces especially from the BBC, and Masterpiece Theatre and I wasn't disappointed with these three great productions. Beautifully filmed and so well acted by all the actors--perfect in their roles. I do recommend this collection if you are a fan of British mini-series. You won't be disappointed. The only negative thing I can say, is that the closed caption was not available for Wives and Daughters. I have a slight hearing problem and would have liked to have had that feature available--for some reason it wasn't. Still I give the collection the highest rating.

This was my first time buying an Elizabeth Gaskell video. I was introduced to her writing from MasterPiece Theatre. They showed Cranford.
I was so taken with the story that I went to Amazon to see if they had any books from her. After purchasing her books, I then looked for a video. I found a triology and brought it. I was so pleased with all three stories. Even my family, and one of them was male, was interested, and enjoyed the videos. One of my sisters was going to get them for herself. It was a lovely way of spending the evening. I highly recommend these, whether you buy them separate or in a set, they are worth seeing! Especially if you enjoy this era.
