Fire in the Stone: Prehistoric Fiction from Charles Darwin to Jean M. Auel by Nicholas Ruddick

saintofperseverance's review against another edition

3.0

Ordinarily I don't care much for literary analysis, but I enjoyed this book. Ruddick clearly did his homework when researching it. Most of the books and stories discussed here are older (although there is a lot of material on [b:The Clan of the Cave Bear|1295|The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth' Children #1)|Jean M. Auel|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1158008569s/1295.jpg|1584694] and its sequels), and I was not familiar with many of them. If you like prehistoric fiction and want a more serious look at the themes, definitely read this book.
