First published in 1869, "Lorna Doone" is the story of John Ridd, a
farmer who finds love amid the religious and social turmoil of
seventeenth-century England. He is just a boy when his father is
slain by the Doones, a lawless clan inhabiting wild Exmoor on the
border of Somerset and Devon. Seized by curiosity and a sense of
adventure, he makes his way to the valley of the Doones, where he
is discovered by the beautiful Lorna. In time their childish
fantasies blossom into mature love?a bond that will inspire John to
rescue his beloved from the ravages of a stormy winter, rekindling
a conflict with his archrival, Carver Doone, that climaxes in
heartrending violence. Beloved for its portrait of star-crossed
lovers and its surpassing descriptions of the English countryside,
"Lorna Doone" is R. D. Blackmore's enduring masterpiece.
