![]() The trilogy includes Birds, Beasts and Relatives and The Garden of the Gods. ![]() Amazon prime members can read the Kindle version of the trilogy for free. ![]() After reading a chapter or two, I persuaded both my mother and father to read it and helped them download the trilogy for Kindle. The title, of course, is also light and funny, suggesting that his family was just another species of interesting animals to be studied. I knew I was in for something good when even the book dedications in the opening pages were full of humor. I’m not saying I would not give the series a chance, but I know words would be pared down to dialogue - which may or may not be true to the book - and it would be missing all of the beautiful narrative language from the books. I can’t imagine I would like the show more than the book … which I enjoyed very much. After reading the first book in this trilogy and after reading more about the PBS series, I’m intrigued but cautious. I have seen trailers for it and was intrigued by them, partly because I was attracted to the period feel and partly because I have enjoyed other Masterpiece Theatre series. ![]()
