These stories place you in the vast landscapes of the Ice Age, where survival hinges on understanding the natural world. You will follow characters navigating harsh environments while learning the complex ways of the people around them. If you are interested in the lives of those who lived among the herds, you might begin with «The Shelters of Stone».

Feels like wonder, nature and tenderness.

Start with The Plains of Passage.

Auel did years of research on Ice Age plants, animals and survival skills before publishing; she was in her forties when she began the series.

The way a single room can hold a whole childhood.

A gusty, fitful wind, holding the fine loess soil in suspension, swirled around them, obscuring their view of the spear holders. Ayla lifted her leg over and slid down from the horse’s back. She knelt beside the wolf, put one arm over his back and the other across his chest, to calm him and hold him back if necessary. She could feel the snarl rumbling in his throat and the eager tautness of muscles ready to spring. She looked up at Jondalar. A light film of powdery dirt coated the shoulders and long flaxen hair of the tall man and turned the coat of his dark brown mount to the more common dun color of the sturdy breed. She and Whinney looked the same.
