Our view
With “The Mammoth Hunters”, the “Earth’s Children” saga moves to new ground and keeps its hold. It is the third of six novels and follows “The Valley of Horses”, which it takes as known; at over seven hundred pages it is also a long stay in Jean M. Auel’s ancient wilderness. Some readers who are gripped by the story still lose patience with Jondalar.
