Works can belong to more than one series. In some cases, as with Chronicles of Narnia , disagreements about order necessitate the creation of more than one series. If the series has an order, add a number or other descriptor in parenthesis after the series title eg. By default, it sorts by the number, or alphabetically if there is no number.
If you want to force a particular order, use the character to divide the number and the descriptor. So, " 0 prequel " sorts by 0 under the label "prequel. Series was designed to cover groups of books generally understood as such see Wikipedia: Like many concepts in the book world, "series" is a somewhat fluid and contested notion.

Sep 01, Spuddie rated it it was amazing. First in the Prior's Ford series, featuring the cast of the village of that same name in the Scottish lowlands. Not sure exactly how to classify this--not mystery, I guess general fiction, rather cozy, with a cast of motley characters each with their own hopes, dreams and problems, and some mutual issues affecting the village--the potential reopening of a granite quarry for one.
Perhaps a written soap opera would be the way to describe this--though it's much less sordid than the soaps on TV--at First in the Prior's Ford series, featuring the cast of the village of that same name in the Scottish lowlands. Perhaps a written soap opera would be the way to describe this--though it's much less sordid than the soaps on TV--at least from the last time I watched one years ago!
It's surprising that I liked this, really, but I did, very much. It tells the story of Glen and Libby, owners of the local pub The Neurotic Cuckoo who have an old secret in their past that they want kept quiet. Libby worries it will be brought to the fore when Glen heads up a committee working against the quarry re-opening. There's Jenny, Helen and Ingrid, local village women with younger children who together run a seasonal craft shop. There's Clarissa, recently widowed and a village outsider as she and her husband had only moved to Prior's Ford a few months before he died.
And there's the Ralston-Kerrs, owners of Linn Manor and the land the quarry is on! All in all, an enjoyable story with a lovely sense of place and atmosphere and some diverse, well-drawn and interesting characters. I closed the book feeling very satisfied and wanting to go back for another visit soon. Jan 08, June Louise rated it it was amazing Shelves: It is very Rebecca Shaw-esque in nature in that it features a small community, this time in the hilly Scottish Borderland. This community is not what it seems though, there appear to be several residents who have some secrets What is Clarissa's discovery?
What is Jenny's shady past and just why do the pub landlord and landlady shun publicity. All this among tears, mirth and summer fayres no not just normal fairs, fayres.
