Recs if you like The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth's Children, #1)...

Fiction (and some non-fiction) across genres featuring plagues, poisons, palace physicians, healers, and pre-antibiotic chaos. If it involves herbs, plagues, questionable remedies, court intrigue, or a morally complex healer experimenting in the corner, I want it.

Books with druids as main characters or major plot points.

First books in series only. This could exclude series where druids appear in later books.

Note: may contain nature magic, herbalists, shamans and nature themed witches based on vibes

Looking for books set in a prehistoric world? You've found some!

This is a list of books that at least one person thinks you should read. A book that, no matter who you are, is worth giving a try. Out there in the world, this is someone's favourite book. They wish absolutely everyone they know would sit down and read it. Will you give any of these a chance? The books chosen for this list are members of the community, as well as my coworkers at the bookstore I work at.

In April 2003 the BBC's Big Read began the search for the nation's best-loved novel, and we asked you to nominate your favourite books.

Books with covers by Geoff Taylor the fantasy and sci-fi artist and illustrator. If you've read any fantasy books from the 70s/80s there's a good chance you recognise his work!

I've put just book 1, many of these are series!
