The Morland Dynasty

review 1: This is an amazing concept for a historical series, following the same family from the time of the War of the Roses to The Great Depression of 1929. So in each generation you get a real feel for the times and how people from a variety of walks of life lived and loved.Unfortunately, the series has stalled a little at this stage due to the publisher wishing to finish up the series, I still hope that it will taken at least until WW11.
review 2: The saga of the Morland family continues -- the Morlands are hatched, matched and dispatched in the midst of the 1920s. Since one of the characters is a pilot and aircraft designer, there's quite a bit about British aviation; the General Strike of 1926 and the Crash of '29 figure in the story, as well as the extension of wo... moremen's suffrage in Britain to younger women (I'd forgotten, if I ever knew, that at first only women over 30 could vote). I'm addicted to this series, which was meant to be a painless way to learn British history and does a good job of it. I'd advise reading it from the beginning, though. less
