29 Scythe-Swooning Poldark Gifts To Tempt Ardent Fans

We must confess to having gone a little bit Poldark crazy here at Inspired Gift Ideas. There is something about Aiden Turner and the whole Cornish landscape that makes us quite weak at the knees. So we make no apology for this ultimate list of Poldark gifts.

Scythe-swooning Poldark Gifts

The original books by Winston Graham

Where better than to start with the original 12 books written by Winston Graham. He lived in Perranporth and the Poldark books were inspired by the area that includes Perranporth, St Agnes, Illogan and beyond. The first book was published in 1945 and the last in 2002, shortly before Graham’s death in 2003. So as well as a cracking story the 12 books give the reader insight into the development of the Author over more than 55 years.

Winston Graham Poldark Series 12 Books Collection Set by Winston Graham

The story starts in 1783 when Ross returns from the American War of Independence, fully expecting to reunite with Elizabeth Chynoweth, the sweetheart he left behind. He is devastated to find her engaged to his richer cousin, Francis Poldark. The family all believed him killed in the war.

Poldark TV and film adaptations

There have been a number of TV and film adaptations. The first BBC adaptation in the 1970s starred Robin Ellis and Angharad Rees. The latest series stared Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson.

Poldark Series 1-4

What can we say? This adaptation leaves us quite breathless. We are not sure if its the lovely Cornish scenery or the lovely scenery that does it. There is fantastic attention to detail and some fabulous shots of Cornwall. Great characters, beautifully acted. One of the best Poldark gifts.

Poldark Series 5

The last season in the latest series. This season strays from Winston Graham’s books and fills in the gap after the monumental events at the end of series four.

Poldark – Complete Collection [DVD] [1977]

The original 1977 adaptation of Winston Graham’s famous novels. An interesting look back in time. A great cast of actors.

Poldark – The Movie [DVD]

This adaptation gets very mixed reviews. It takes up where the original 1970s series left off.
