Set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many of her masterpieces have been brought to life in mini-series productions boasting lavish costumes and stunning on-location photography of Northeast England. From The Cinder Path (as seen on Masterpiece Theatre) to The Secret (based on Cookson’s only thriller, 'The Harrogate Secret'), this anthology presents seven acclaimed adaptations, featuring star-studded casts that include Catherine Zeta-Jones, Ray Stevenson, James Purefoy and June Whitfield. 8 DVD set includes the mini-series: The Cinder Path – Colour Blind – A Dinner of Herbs – The Girl The Secret – The Tide of Life – Tilly Trotter Amazon.com: Beaten down by years of mistreatment by his abusive father, Charlie McFell's (Lloyd Owen) enduring struggle to overcome his past, live up to his responsibilities, and recognize the depths of his own integrity is not easy, but audiences will find it remarkably rewarding. With all the features of a great television miniseries--murder, blackmail, revenge, heartbreak, betrayal, courage, vindication, and true love--what's remarkable about The Cinder Path is that there's nothing cheesy about it. This high-caliber production features strong acting, well-written characters the audience will care about, amazing Edwardian costumes, vivid western front trench warfare reenactments, Dolby digital sound, and a scene index. Charlie overcomes a dangerous secret, a hollow marriage of convenience with the haughty Victoria (Catherine Zeta-Jones), the challenge of running his family's Northumberland farm, and finally the rigors of military boot camp as he is called to serve in World War I. He struggles to vanquish his own ghosts and become the man no one thought he could be. Based on the popular novel by Catherine Cookson, this made-for-television production will please a wide variety of viewers, from fans of PBS and BBC-style programming to anyone who likes a love story with a happy ending. --Tara Chace Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Champion of the less privileged The movies that are created from the stories by Catherine Cookson are always wonderful to watch. The only thing better than reading one of her books is watching the movie adaption of one. Rating: - First Rate Have loved all of Ms. Cookson's movies so far, and really enjoyed this one. Good story - love and war and infidelity and revenge. Catherine Zeta Jones played the role of an unfaithful, unloving wife, but did a good job. The lead role was well played and the best part was that it all ended happily. Rating: - "Seven Film Anthology ... Catherine Cookson ... Koch Vision (2008)" Koch Vision and BBC presents "THE CATHERINE COOKSON ANTHOLOGY" (1995) (1259 mins/Color) (Dolby Digital) --- Dame Catherine Ann Cookson was an English author --- Cookson became Britain's most widely read novelist, while remaining a relatively low-profile figure in the world of celebrity writers --- Her books were inspired by her deprived youth in North East England, the setting for her novels.

Rating: - Stirring Drama --- Maria Miles delivers an exceptional performance. Set in the rural areas around Newcastle during the years 1913-1918, this impressive dramatization of Cookson's work centers on the personal struggles of a wealthy young land owner (Charlie) who is seen by many around him as a weakling and utter failure until he is thrown into the cauldron of military service on the Western Front and is forced by circumstances to fight and lead or perish. Much of his inspiration and will to survive comes from the love and devotion of Nellie, the troubled younger sister of ...
