Lorna Doone

R. D. Blackmore's Lorna Doone is one of the best-loved historical romances in English, the book that put Exmoor on the map. In the wild West Country of the 1680s, the outlawed Doone clan rides down from its hidden valley to rob and kill at will. John Ridd, a yeoman farmer whose father the Doones murdered, grows up to love Lorna — the girl the outlaws are raising as their own — in a slow, immovable voice that has charmed readers for a century and a half. This edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 50 full-page color plates.
