The Darling Buds of May was a UK comedy drama produced by Yorkshire Television that ran for three seasons between 1991 and 1993. It was an adaptation of H. E. Bates' novel "The Darling Buds of May", published in 1958, and its four sequels. Penguin Books re-published all the novels with TV-themed covers in 1990, along with an omnibus book "The Pop Larkin Chronicles" containing all five novels. In 2021 a new series entitled 'The Larkins' was produced by ITV that ran for one season of seven episodes with two further seasons confirmed. Penguin re-published the first book with the new series tie-in cover. = In My Collection / = Not in My Collection
