HI, Jo -

The Cooper book which would make a good 1999 fast paced series would be "Precaution". This novel about several English families trying to get their daughters married off is not only funny as h---, it has to be the prototype of the first great American soap opera. It has all the intricacies and jealousies and cads and skullduggery and back-handing and innocent maidens and not-so-innocent maidens and manipulation and exchanging-partners scenarios that shows like General Hospital and All My Children could possibly accommodate, plus a fairy-tale ending that Cooper never stooped to in any other novel. The Leatherstocking Tales offer NOTHING compared to "Precaution"!
