    My sister is an Anglophile, and I should check these novels out to get more of an idea what is so appealing.

    I adore Catherine Cookson's works. When I watch the film adaptations of her novels (which are brilliant in of themselves) it seriously makes me feel like I'm there - fills me up with great pleasure and makes me dream of walking in those lovely places...I feel like watching one right now. Love them all but I have to say that probably one of my most favourite ones is The Girl (Jonathan Cake is scrumptious) need I say more? I also really loved The Dwelling Place.

    I have been reading Catherine Cookson books for 30 or more years the first one I read was The Dwelling Place. I must confess I was not much a reader before that and it was the first book I have ever read all the way through. I have since read at least 50 of her books and loved them all. I almost feel I knew her personally. She was a wonderful author.I only wish she was still alive to write more books.

    Hi Paperfacets. A good first Catherine Cookson book to start with is 'Fifteen Streets.' My wife says it's one of her favorites, and the one she would start with.

    Regards, Chuck

    Catherine Cookson books have become a part of our family. My grandmother read her novels and passed them onto my mother who then got me involved with reading them. She is the best author I have ever known as far as adult-fiction goes. I have read over 60 of her novels, and have seen 10 of her movies. I love them all. But, I stll have a ways to go. I have seen some on Amazon.com that were for sale in England but did not reach the U.S. yet. So, I cannot wait to check those out.

    Thanks so much for this website!

    I was first introduced to Catherine Cookson by my step-mother a few years ago. Since that time I have read every one of her books that I have been able to put my hands on. My all time favorite has to be Fifteen Streets.
    Great site...thanks for all the info.
