Description
'Lorna Doone, a Romance of Exmoor' is an historical novel of high adventure set in the South West of England during the turbulent time of Monmouth's rebellion (1685). It is also a moving love story told through the life of the young farmer John Ridd, as he grows to manhood determined to right the wrongs in his land, and to win the heart and hand of the beautiful Lorna Doone. Continuously in print since its first publication in 1869, Lorna Doone has remained perennially popular with a wide readership ever since. AUTHOR: Richard Doddridge Blackmore (1825-1900) was one of the most famous novelists of his generation. The writer of sixteen novels in all, he is now remembered only for his third, 'Lorna Doone'.
