Publisher's Note In the fifth volume of the best-selling Earth's Children series, which began with The Clan of the Cave Bear, Ayla and Jondalar continue their epic journey across Ice Age Europe to join Jondalar's people, the Zelandonii, confronting new hardships and perilous challenges along the way.
Industry Reviews "THE SHELTERS OF STONE, the fifth installment of the projected six-volume series, has pretty much abandoned adventure and the evocation of another age entirely. It strikes one as being a romance for people who fantasize about going into business -- something with a strong emphasis on crafts and home products and professional conferences. In other words, the spirit of Martha Stewart informs the pages as much as the Great Mother's does." Washington Post - Katherine Powers (05/26/2002)
