Beautifully portrayed stories, the culture, the social issues and how women stood up to it in those times. It also showed hoe there were always strong minded women and gentle carin men in their life who stood by and supported. Wish we could see that in today's society. I was impressed by the costumes and music that fitted so well. I was captured by the series and watched every one. I woul love to buy some DVDs to keep and give as presents to friends, not sure where to buy them
