Customer Reviews

WORTH TO TREASURE!
When I got this collection, I didn't know what to expect. I watched Cranford first (love it), then Wives and Daughters (love it too) and lastly North and South (superbly love it, the best period drama I've seen yet, just fell in love with Richard Armitage and Daniella Asby-Ashe) which became my most treasured movie. Cranford is comedy with very good actors, so as Wives and Daughters, while North and South is an addictive drama that will melt your heart to watch it over and over again. A great treasure to keep. BRITISH MOVIES - YOU MADE MY DAY!

Wicked Awsome movies
these 3 movies are worth buying for wayyyyy more money, i bought them all seperately, wish i had known they came in a set. These are 3 must have movies if ever you wanted nice english period pieces. I have watched them over and over and i think i'll go watch them over now. Definitely fantastic movies, best i've ever had.

Elizabeth Gaskell rivals Austen and Dickens in portraiture
The Gaskell collection is three very different productions of this quiet author. She draws such beautiful pictures of distinct individuals of many situations in life crossing each others' paths in cotidienne and grand circumstances. If you loved the beautiful "Nicholas Nickleby" that almost no one saw and/or "Pride and Prejudice" we all saw, you will enjoy this interesting set of three detailed stories, elegant costuming; amusing, surprising, cinematic, sad and satisfying.
