Item Description

How often do you have the opportunity to have dinner with a famous American novelist who holds four honorary university degrees, was presented the French government’s Ministry of Culture “Officer in the Order of Arts and Letters” Award, and has sold over 45 million copies of her books worldwide, over half of them in the U.S. alone? Well, here’s your chance. Spend an evening with the incomparable and brilliant Jean Auel. She’ll tell you how she found her prehistoric heroine Ayla, and before you leave, you’ll take with you autographed copies of Jean’s six Earth’s Children® novels to include The Clan of the Cave Bear, The Valley of Horses, The Mammoth Hunters (which broke records as the first hardcover novel with a first printing of more than one million copies!), The Plains of Passage, The Shelters of Stone (which debuted at #1 on the bestseller lists in 14 countries!) and The Land of Painted Caves, published just this year. Interested in researching the Neanderthal and Cro-Magnan Eras? Spend some time at Powell’s City of Books with a $100 Gift Certificate. Then head back home, curl up and immerse yourself in another of Jean Auel’s books with a warm glass of fine Oregon wine.

Here are the details of this “Evening with Jean Auel” package:

  • Dinner with Jean Auel and her husband, Ray, at Jean’s favorite Portland Restaurant
  • Autographed copies of the entire Jean Auel Cave Bear Series, including the newest book
  • A $100 gift certificate for Oregon’s iconic bookstore, Powell’s City of Books
