Delphi Complete Works of R. D. Blackmore (Illustrated‪)‬

One of the most famous English novelists of the latter half of the nineteenth century, R. D. Blackmore won acclaim for his vivid portrayals of the countryside, sharing with Thomas Hardy a Western England background prevalent in many of his works.
