Champaign and Clark counties are possibilities, and Springfield (in Clark County)has the feel of an Americus. I'll appreciate your help.

I've always found it tedious and mannered. I suspect that the strong conflict between old and new, young and old, had a good deal to do with it. But THE TREES was, in my opinion, by far the superior portion of the trilogy. I've found that many authors somehow become fascinated with one of their most uninteresting characters, and insist on dragging us all along on, oftentimes, a pretty tiresome ride.<br /><br />Regarding the miniseries (sadly but necessarily greatly truncated) seeing it again after over thirty years; the main thing that strikes me is that Elizabeth Montgomery (admittedly a great favorite of mine) was rather limited in her actual reading of lines; but what a silent actress she would have made! Everything is there, in the face, the movement, the posture-she really had no need at all of dialogue.Poynorgraphicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086230636821248858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244527084073420142.post-4776045007100689032011-03-05T11:12:36.882-05:002011-03-05T11:12:36.882-05:00What a treat!

I remember watching the tv miniseries with my grandfather in the early 1990's, when I was in my early teens. It wasn't until college that I realized the miniseries was based on books.<br /><br />I haven't the time now, but am looking forward to returning to read your posts regarding the trilogy.The Lady of the Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393357623619043633noreply@blogger.com
