Lorna Doone is the most famous and celebrated of R.D. Blackmore's historical romances. It is set in late 17th century Exmoor in Badgworthy Valley (now commonly known as 'Doone Valley') where many Blackmore landscapes can still be found. The romance takes place in the gloomy countryside of Devon in England
where a family of outlaws, the Doones, begin to plague the land. Young John Ridd, the hero, is only twelve when the book opens and grows up with the threat of the Doones who have begun to burn farms, attack men and carry off women. In these surroundings he meets a young girl with beautiful eyes and a primrose in her hair. It is Lorna Doone, who is cruelly treated by her family. John grows up to be a man of great power and falls in love with Lorna, who he must save from the Doones and nature
itself in a terrible blizzard. It is a near-tragic romance that includes certain historical figures, including the Doones themselves who are based on actual historical persons | | |
