Written by English novelist Richard Doddridge Blackmore, noted as one of the most famous novelist in England in the late nineteenth century. 'Lorna Doone' was first published in 1869, selling just 300 out of 500 copies. It was then published the following year in an inexpensive, singular volume, and became widely popular.

The novel is set in the late 17th century in Devon and Somerset, around Exmoor, and it tells the story of Lorna Doone, her romance and her interesting family history.

With twelve coloured plated and numerous black-and-white vignettes throughout. [Google Books]
