Throughout the 1990s, television plays based on the historical romances of the popular and prolific writer Catherine Cookson were a mainstay of commercial British broadcasting. Frequently set in northern England's grim industrial towns, on dreary farms or prosperous country estates, Cookson's novels tell stories of courage, sacrifice, adversity, loss, and salvation. The main characters struggle against economic hardship or emotional cruelty before finally triumphing by finding happiness or redemption through the power of love. Recently released in DVD format, the second set in the Cookson collection presents The Dwelling Place ââ¬"young siblings orphaned by a cholera epidemic overcome all odds; The Gambling Man ââ¬"a card player finds prosperity and love; The Glass Virgin ââ¬"a young woman learns the truth about her birth; and The Man Who Cried ââ¬"a man and his son carry a damning secret. North American viewers will recognize many familiar British actors and actresses, including Emily Mortimer, James Fox, and Robson Green. In addition to outstanding casts and locations, audiences also will enjoy the consistently well-crafted scripts, the high production values, and exceptional attention to period detail. Recommended for public libraries. [The Catherine Cookson Collection, Set 1 , is also available (DVD ISBN 1-56938-856-3 . $59.99). It includes The Wingless Bird, The Moth, The Rag Nymph , and The Fifteen Streets .ââ¬"Ed.]ââ¬"Linda Frederiksen, Washington State Univ. Lib., Vancouver
