Det begyndte med Hulebjørnens klan... Nu er Ayla tilbage! Med "Hulernes sang" afslutter Jean M. Auel sagaen om istidspigen Ayla - en af verdens største bogsucceser, med et salg på mere end 45 millioner eksemplarer verden over. I "Hulernes sang" fortsættes sagaen om istidspigen Ayla. Som femårig måtte hun lære at overleve i en storslået og nådesløs natur, da et jordskælv udslettede alle hendes nærmeste.

Fjerde bind i serien "Jordens Børn" handler om Ayla og hendes elskede Jondalars rejse videre gennem det farefulde og uvejsomme istidslandskab. Mens de i selskab af deres heste og tamme ulv krydser Europas stepper, udsættes de for både naturens luner og menneskers ondskab. Takket være Jondalars mod og Aylas snarrådighed og fortrolighed med alt levende klarer de dog alle strabadserne og møder overalt forbundsfæller blandt både dyr og mennesker.

"Mammutjægerne" er tredje bind i serien Jordens Børn. Ayla forlader sin dal sammen med Jondalar, den mand hun har elsket og holdt sammen med, siden hun fandt ham hårdt såret efter et overfald af en løve. De møder Mamutoi-folket, Mammutjægerne, og Ayla nærmer sig dem med både frygt og nysgerrighed. Hun bliver optaget af deres musikinstrumenter, af deres levevis og bopladser - og ikke mindst tiltrækkes hun af den mørke, flotte Ranec, der er mester i at skære elfenbensfigurer. Mammutjægerne fascineres af hende, af hendes lægekunst, hendes dygtighed som jæger og hendes evne til at tæmme vilde dyr.

I "Hestens dal" fortælles om Aylas kamp for at overleve i vildmarken. Det er hårde vilkår, hun udsættes for, og selv om hun finder venskab og midlertidig støtte hos de dyr, hun tager til sig, savner hun menneskeligt selskab. Men langt mod vest har to unge mænd af Cro-Magnon-stammen begivet sig af sted... "Hestens dal" er andet bind i serien Jordens Børn.

Det første bind i Jean M. Auels berømte serie Jordens Børn, om pigen Ayla og hendes oplevelser i istiden for cirka 25.000 år siden. Ved et jordskælv bliver Ayla forældreløs, men møder siden en klan af neandertalere. De er små, tætte og med flade pander, mens Ayla er høj og lys. Da den brutale leder tvinger den fjortenårige Ayla til at forlade klanen, tager hun alene af sted over de øde stepper i et uvejsomt landskab nær de mægtige gletsjere, indtil hun kommer til hestenes dal.
