Cranford


If you enjoy stories about village life in mid 19th century England, the clash of new industrialism with old gentility, a little romance, and strong women characters, then I recommend BBC's five hour miniseries "Cranford".

It was adapted from several stories serialized by Elizabeth Gaskill (b 1810 d 1865)

That's all I'm gonna say 'cause I don't want to create any expectations.

Wow! It's so good to discover it does exist a miniseries about Gaskell's Cranford. I'm an Italian university student of Literature, but I wpuld have never imagined to see Miss Matty's face on the tv screen. Unfortunately it's difficult to find in Italy!
